K3 RX ANT OUT

Barry N1EU
Is there a diagram anywhere showing the internal connections to the RX
ANT OUT jack?

It obviously isn't working as I expected.  I thought RX ANT OUT would
pass whichever of TX ANT or RX ANT that was not selected by the main
rx.  But with TX ANT used by main rx, RX ANT is not getting passed to
RX ANT OUT as I expected it to be.

Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU

Page 38 (KXV3) and 39 (KXV3A) of the K3 schematics set on the Elecraft
Web site.  It also helps to look at the RF Board (pg 4).

RX ANT OUT is connected to the TX antenna 1) when not transmitting,
and 2) when RX ANT is selected.  That is all.  The function is there
to allow patching in a preamp or filter for receive.  The relay that
does the switching has the RX out connected to a contact rather than a
pole.  Sorry.

Joe,

Out of passing interest I tried to find the references you made below
without success.  Would you be so kind as to give me a direct link to the
schematic and the RF board.  I need to consider my internal jumper to make
some SUB receiver changes to antenna connections.

Thanks a bunch.  

73,
Bill

Here’s a distillation of the situation that I derived from the schematics, for my particular radio configuration.

On the K3 manuals page ... where it's been in various incarnations
for some three years.

Joe,

Thanks.   I was looking at the actual manual and the pages didn,'t relate.  Another post simplified what I was looking for.  I appreciate your time to clarify the reference.
