[Elecraft] Using RX ANT OUT for a second receiver

[Randy Farmer]

I do this to feed my ancient R-4C as an auxiliary receiver. I built up a 
special RX antenna relay switching matrix to manage feeds to the Main 
and Sub receivers with a Mini-Circuits PSC-2-2 embedded in it for this 
purpose. The splitter can be switched in or out to share the Aux R-4C 
with the K3 Main input. It works great.
