[Elecraft] SDRPlay connection to K3S

Yes, you will need a Y cable, connect to RX ANT IN and OUT. The junction 
of the Y goes to the SDR Play.  To activate, press the RX ANT on the 
radio. This sends the ANT 1 or ANT 2 signal to the Out and then back to 
the In via the Y cable, while feeding same to the SDR play.

Works great.  I use HDSDR with OmniRig to control my K3S from the 
computer and if configured as such the SDR play follows the K3S.

In order to simplify a nest of cables and forgetting to push the RX ANT, 
I finally resorted to using the IF OUT to the SDR play. Again the HDSDR 
software allows configuring such that it tracks the K3S in all modes and 
frequencies.
