K3 Rx Antenna Isolation

Ed  Gilliland
I'm have poor isolation between the transmit antenna (ANT1) and my Beverage (RX ANT IN).

I have to switch to ANT2 to get rid of the noise from the transmit antenna.

As new as I am to the K3 I may have an option set wrong.

Thanks, Ed

Ed,

    Wayne's recent post entitled "KXV3: (1) RX ANT signal level during TX;
(2) spectra at buffered IF output" may address your question.  You can

Perhaps Ed will clarify, but my take is that Ed's post is a different issue.  I believe he is saying that while he's in RECEIVE mode with the RX ANT selected, there's leakage of the receive signal on the transmit antenna feedline into his receiver - poor isolation in the receive antenna selection.

Personally, I haven't seen this but I haven't listened specifically for it either.

Hi Barry,

Yes it's on receive.  It's more than leakage, more like both antennas are
connected during receive.

Hi Guys
