K3 antenna routing

Dick Green WC1M
In reading the manual, it seems that the Sub receiver can't use the RX ANT
unless the receive antenna is connected to both RX ANT and AUX RF with a
Y-cable, and KRX3 is set to NOR:ANT3. This allows the Sub to use the RX ANT
for diversity reception, but eliminates the ability of the Sub to use any
other antenna (such as a second receive-only antenna) for diversity
reception. Is this correct? If so, I'd suggest a future mod to make antenna
routing between the Main and Sub receivers more flexible (and less
confusing.) The Orion antenna selection matrix is a good example to follow.
Complete flexibility in antenna selection will allow the user to take full
advantage of having two identical receivers.
