[Elecraft] How to add a receive only antenna to a K3 with only a single antenna input.

[Dale Boresz]

Hello Don,

I've been using the DX Engineering RTR-2 for four or five years to
provide a way to use receiving antennas with my KX3/KXPA100/PX3, and it
works perfectly. You'll also have the ability to alternate between your rx
antenna and your tx antenna (to see which antenna provides the best
reception at the moment) with a flip of a toggle switch on the front panel.

You can also download the detailed instruction manual for this product from
the above link.

73,
