[Elecraft] K3 and external receiver

[Don Wilhelm]

Per-Tore,

I have not tried it, but from a look at the K3 Block Diagram, it would 
appear that you could connect the external receiver to the RX ANT OUT 
jack (requires the KXV3 option) and tell the K3 to use the RX ANT (that 
is a per band setting).

The K3 Low Pass Filters would be in the path between the antenna and 
that output, but it is behind the TR switch which should protect the 
external receiver during transmit.  Muting the external receiver is not 
part of that connection - you are on your own to devise the means for 
muting that receiver during transmit.

73,
Don W3FPR
