K3 - BNC switch for RX IN & AUX?

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM-2]

Hello,

it´s possible to use a BNC switch to connect the RX antennas to the RX ANT
IN and the AUX connectors in the K3? Or is better to use a BNC splitter.

I want to use it to switch between RX antenna and diversity mode (AUX).

Will be any loose of reception with a switch or splitter? Wich one will be
better?

 

Thanks,

Jorge

Hola Jorge,

This old post might answer some of your questions.

Also here's a truly wonderful solution for those who have many RX antennas and want total flexibility of assigning any combination of antennas to the RX ANT and AUX ports in diversity:

Regarding splitters, the only downside is their 3 dB loss, which is not an issue on most bands.

I use a DX Pedition II by KD9SV to switch up to 4 beverages, works great with the K3. Will add a splitter to use it as you described in the old post
