KXV3 ant RX protection [K3]

[Luca NCJ]

Hi all,
need to be cleared on one issue.

Scenario:

Ant 1 (or 2) connected to TX antenna
KXV3 ant RX IN connected to an RX system (i.e. a beverage)

is there any setting to avoid RF from TX antenna returning into the RX IN
module while transmitting?
For example a menu that allows to disconnect the RX antenna when the PTT is
pressed for TX-ing?

TNX in advance

Luca,

That is not done internally in the K3.  If that is a problem for you
(you do not have adequate isolation between your TX antenna and the
beverage), you will have to add that protection externally. Switching
the RX antenna input to a dummy load during transmit should do the job
nicely.
