K3 SUB RX question

dennis rosenbalm

I am in need of advice please......

I want to use an OCF non-resonant dipole through the K3ATU to the SUB RX
and use a vertical for the MAIN RX antenna for diversity reception. Then
I want the SUB RX to mute in transmit mode while transmitting on the
vertical.

Is this possible? How do I configure this with the K3 controls?

When using QSK on CW the SUB allows QSK and the band noise can be
heard between dits and dahs, so it does mute, but may display some
undesired behavior.

Unless you feel you must work QSK while in the configuration you
mentioned, it should work fine, but beware. Nothing can help you if
RX antenna is too close to the TX antenna.  Muting can't help prevent
damage if there's just too much signal on the RX antenna input.
