Don,

You should get a variety of answers - there are some using dedicated 
receive antennas, and there are others who are using two transmit 
antennas.  It depends on what they have available.

It is nice to have one antenna with vertical polarization and another 
with horizontal polarization, but two antennas separated by some 
distance can work too.  Use what you have.

If you only have 2 antennas, I suggest that you connect the subRX to use 
the Non-Transmit antenna connected to the KAT3.  To use that, you will 
need to connect the TMP cable between the KAT3 and the SubRX AUX antenna 
input.
