K3-KRX3 Clarification

Terry Schieler

Got it now!  Thanks to all who responded directly and so quickly.  Finally got through this think skull of mine!

I am completing the installation of my KRX3.  I am electing to share the selected antenna (ANT-1 or ANT-2) with the sub receiver.  I have the KAT3 installed.  Do I still need to connect the 12” TMP cable between the KRX3 and J92 on the KAT3, or is this connection made somewhere else in the circuitry?

 

On page 37 of my KRX3 installation manual (Rev. A) it states “If installed, attach the antenna cable connected to either the KAT3 or to the AUX RF BNC jack on the rear panel to J92 at the end of the KRX3 as shown”.  I DO have the KAT3 installed, but am confused if this cable is REQUIRED for the sub receiver to work at all, or if this step is referencing the option to “Installing the Auxiliary KRX3 Antenna Input Via the KAT3” which I have elected to pass on.

 

I don’t see any other way of the signal getting from the ANT connection on the back of the rig to the sub receiver, but, then again, there are a number of multi-pin connections on the sub receiver.

 

Please respond direct as I am in digest mode and would like to wrap this up this afternoon if possible.  My call AT swbell DOT net.

 

Many thanks.

73,
