[Elecraft] K3/100 Diversity receive

[Jim Bennett]

Pete - that sounds pretty much like what I'm doing. I have the sub-rx; Ant1 normally goes to main, Ant2 to the sub-rx. My Ant2 is a ground mounted Hustler 5BTV vertical, Ant1 is switchable to an 88 foot doublet, an 80 meter Inverted L, or a 160 meter Inverted L. Also am running an AL811 amp at times with about 500 watts out - have not had any issues with this config. However, when I'm on 80 or 160 with the two L antennas, I'm not using diversity mode. When I'm on 40-10 however, I do use diversity.

I'm thinking I'm behind the T/R relay and therefore I'm safer this way than using the AUX input or the REC ANT input ?
