[K3] Aux RF

Jim AB3CV
I've got a little LF converter to play with an I thought I'd use it with
the AUX RF input and the SUBRX.

I've got a PR6 and beverages connected to the normal RX path and I don't
want to mess with that.

I seem to remember there was a wiring election when putting in the KAT3. Do
I remember that right? Taking one election meant not being able to use the
AuxRF. I could be confused...

Just thought I'd ask before taking the K3 apart unnecessarily.

OTOH, I may be remembering something similar in the K2 I previously had. I can't find any such election in the K3 manual or the KAT3 manual.

hmm...

Hi Ron

Thanks for the info. I had just discovered it as well in the KRX3 manual.
I'll have to fire up a XGen to see which way I connected it when I
installed it.

Yay!

XG2 into AuxRF shows it's wired as I suspected.

Now to get the converter assembled.

More toys...
