New (ish) owner of a K3/100 with KAT3 and sub receiver. When I assembled it I fed the sub receiver from the KAT3. I have a vertical and a wire loop connected to ANT1 and ANT2 respectively. Given the numerous warnings in the manual I'm wondering if this a safe configuration for diversity receive mode ? I'm thinking I'm behind the T/R relay and therefore I'm safer this way than using the AUX input or the REC ANT input ? Hope so as I want to be able to use either antenna for transmit and/or receive. Thanks for your comments, Pete // KU2C ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Pete - that sounds pretty much like what I'm doing. I have the sub-rx; Ant1 normally goes to main, Ant2 to the sub-rx. My Ant2 is a ground mounted Hustler 5BTV vertical, Ant1 is switchable to an 88 foot doublet, an 80 meter Inverted L, or a 160 meter Inverted L. Also am running an AL811 amp at times with about 500 watts out - have not had any issues with this config. However, when I'm on 80 or 160 with the two L antennas, I'm not using diversity mode. When I'm on 40-10 however, I do use diversity.
