K3 With Second Receiver as SO2R?

JIMMY D HARRIS
Hi,

I'm sure this will display my ignorance on a lot of matter but here goes.  I
guess the contesting bug has bit to some degree and I'm kicking around ideas
for a SO2R setup.  Among other options I'm considering the possibility of
using a single K3 with a second receiver in a setup similar to SO2R but
without the second radio.  It would seem that with a second receiver the
functionality of a SO2R setup could be had with only one radio.  I realize
there would have to be the right cabling, antennas, switches, interfaces,
computer(s) and etc.

It's my understanding the second receiver is a the same as the first
receiver in the K3 and can access separate antennas.  It sure seems that the
second receiver in the K3 would be much cheaper than buying a complete new
rig.  I'm sure there are some downsides to my thinking.  I would welcome any
comments from anyone on the subject.

Thanks and 73,

Jim, AB0UK
