[Elecraft] Use K3 receiver with separate Transmitter?

[Grant Youngman]

Yes.  

There is no direct way to mute the K3. The workaround is to place the K3 transmitter in TEST.  Use contacts on the T/R relay to close the PTT line, which will mute the K3 receiver. It will actually be in transmit, but won't since it's in TEST. 

Of course, you also need to provide antenna switching external to the K3, as you would with any other BA receiver.
