[Elecraft] K3 ANT 1-2 isolation

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I have much greater separations than 30 dB when the jacks are terminated
with real lines, so I'll have to assume that readings like 30 dB are
listening in an unterminated port with signals on another.  You can't
measure separation (or RX noise) without line terminations (resistor or
real antenna) on ALL ports.

73, Guy.
