How do I set up my single receiver K3 to transmit on ANT 1 and Rx on ANT 2?

Hi John,
To the best of my knowledge this is not possible. I wish somebody will prove that I am wrong.

It is surely possible with an external RF changeover relay, switched from
the PTT line. Don't know if it can be done within the K3 though. 73 Gary ZL2iFB > -----Original Message----- > From: [hidden email] [mailto:elecraft- > [hidden email]] On Behalf Of Kjeld Holm > Sent: Wednesday, 29 February 2012 8:48 p.m. > To: 'WB9JPH'; [hidden email] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 question > > Hi John, > > > > To the best of my knowledge this is not possible. > > > > I wish somebody will prove that I am wrong. > > > > Best regards > > OZ1CCM, Kjeld > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [hidden email] > [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of WB9JPH > Sent: 29. februar 2012 07:34 > To: [hidden email] > Subject: [Elecraft] K3 question > > > > How do I set up my single receiver K3 to transmit on ANT 1 and Rx on ANT > > > > 73 > > John > > WB9JPH > > > > __________________________________________________________ > ____ > > Elecraft mailing list > > Home: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft> > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > > Help: <http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm> > http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > > Post: <mailto:[hidden email]> mailto:[hidden email] > > > > This list hosted by: <http://www.qsl.net> http://www.qsl.net > > Please help support this email list: <http://www.qsl.net/donate.html> > http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > > __________________________________________________________ > ____ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Write a macro in whatever rig control program you use to simulate pushing the ANT button when you transition from RX-TX-RX. Of course I don't understand why you would receive better on one antenna and transmit better on another.

John,
Cannot do that, but if you have the KXV3 installed, you can use the RX antenna input. There is benefit in that approach - you cannot transmit into your receive antenna and its preamps are safe. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/29/2012 1:34 AM, WB9JPH wrote: > How do I set up my single receiver K3 to transmit on ANT 1 and Rx on ANT 2? > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Simple ... quite often my vertical is very noisy on receive and I can hear much better on my 80/40 trap inverted V on the bands the vertical covers. However, I still need to transmit on the vertical. While it would certainly be possible to move the the wire to the RX Ant input on the KXV-3, it is quite inconvenient to do so. 73, ...

There is a very simple answer for that. All you care about for receive is signal-to-noise ratio on YOUR end of the path... efficiency is irrelevant because there is usually plenty of gain in any modern receiver, and if there isn't enough gain a simple low noise preamp fills in nicely. That means any antenna with a good enough pattern (or the right polarity) to discriminate against noise will usually make a good receive antenna. Beverages and various loop configurations (K9AY, pennants, etc) work well for that but they are very lossy and don't make good transmit antennas. For transmit, you care about signal-to-noise ratio on the FAR end of the path, and since you have no control over the noise over there you can only try to optimize your signal strength. The efficiency of your transmit antenna/feedline/etc is the first priority, with directional gain from pattern also being desirable. For some bands, you can get both transmit efficiency and receive noise discrimination from the same antenna, but for the low bands that is pretty difficult to do without devoting the space and money to some sort of monster array. For good antenna efficiency you almost always need size or height that is an appreciable percent of a wavelength ... for good pattern you often don't.

Thanks to many who continued my education on HF operating. Wonderful Hobby, this.
