[Elecraft] Couple of K3 questions

[Jim Brown]

Hi Vic,

I tried using a 75 ohm 1x4 Mini-Circuits splitter, but discontinued it 
because thanks to some design issue in the K3, it coupled 60 Hz hum from 
the power supply for my Titan amp, which sits 6-10 inches below it.  
K6XX uses a BNC Tee, and I adopted that.

73, Jim K9YC
