K3 owners that have built a K2

[Chuck Guenther]

I built the K2-10 (s/n 5853) with lots of accessories for QRP CW.
Assembling the K3-100 was a piece of cake, compared to the K2.

Just a couple of days ago, I finished hooking the two together for
dual-receive
(I haven't yet purchased a KRX3).  This application was inspired by
G4AON's reflector message dated 7 Aug. 2008. It's the first time I've
ever tried dual receive and I'm having fun with it.

(Thanks, Dave, for your clear description).

73,
Chuck  NI0C

G4AON's dual receive involves a K3 with the KXV3 option and a K2 as a secondary receiver (See http://n2.nabble.com/K3-dual-receive-without-KRX3-td679079.html#a679079). It requires a transverter option, KXV3, for the K3 - which I don't have - but I do have it for the K2, the KXV60.

With my setup it would be nice to do the opposite, i.e. let the K2 be the primary rig, but I suspect that it is not possible since the K2 does not have the RX ANT IN/OUT on the KXV60 as the K3's KXV3 has.

But my question to the group is, can I do dual receive with the K2 as the primary transmitting rig?
