K3 as a SO2R solution

Rudy Bakalov
5 posts
Hello all,
I was wondering if the K3 can be used as the ONLY radio in a SO2R configuration. Specifically, I was wondering if the TX output can be changed on the fly per active RX (main RX vs sub-RX) as well as if such configuration is supported by N1MM or any other major contest logging program.
I looked at the manual and could not tell for sure if each RX can have its own assigned TX antenna selection.
I currently own a pair of 756PIIIs, but am considering moving to a single F5K or a pair of K3s. Any general thoughts and experience will be greatly appreciated, particularly from contesters.
Thanks
Rudy N2WQ

SO2R implies that when you are transmitting on one radio, you are
listening on the other.  That isn't possible with the K3.
