K3: 2nd RX or 2nd K3?

Bill W4ZV


HB9DRV:
 >I am so very impressed with my K3 that I am now seriously considering
changing the order for the KRX3-F High Performance Sub-receiver to a 2nd K3
(10W basic, pre-assembled).

         Good idea but be aware you forego diversity reception
unless you find a way to lock both to the same reference (either
external or both to one of the internal references).  You could
come close to the same frequency with careful calibration of
the two VFOs but they would still not be phase-locked.

         Solution:  Order one with KRX3 and another without, which
is what I did.  One without will be for SO2R, expeditions, QRP
portable, etc and the other with KRX3 will be the main shack rig.

                                         73,  Bill  W4ZV
