[Elecraft] K3 and phasing & noise cancelling systems

I have Inv L connected to RX1 of my K3 and Hi-Z triangle connected to Aux RX 
but no canceling system. I have to do this canceling in my head and it works 
to the extend. I think, if you connect Hi-Z to one of the inputs of noise 
canceling device and some noise antenna (TX antenna for example) to another 
input, you will be able to do what you want. But then, switching the 
direction of HI-Z will require readjustment of canceling device every time 
you do that.
