2nd receiver option K3

w0mu
Aux input.  It appears that I can "share" my 4sq receive array with the aux
input as I have the KXV3, by running a bnc cable from the KXV3 out to the
Aux input.  

It appears that you can choose to share the main antenna or the rcv antenna
or split the receive ant to the aux input.

Is this correct?

Correct.

If you're using the RX antenna for both receivers at the same time, you
can just set the SUB's antenna to "MAIN" and turn on RX ANT.

If you want to use the RX antenna on the SUB, but stick with ANT1/2 for
the main receiver, set the SUB's antenna to "AUX" (after having tied it
to RX ANT IN with a BNC 'Y' cable).

Why would you want to do one vs. the other?
