Listening on k3 subreceiver while transmitting

[Gary Slagel]

Hi All,

I'm looking at getting the subreceiver for my k3.  I'm trying to figure out if I can listen on the subreceiver while transmitting. For instance, while contesting, this would let me look for multipliers on the subreceiver while running with the main receiver.  Is this possible?

Thanks,

Gary Slagel

Yes, you can, but you will only be able to hear the other stations if you are on
CW using QSK.  It won't work on phone, because both RX's will mute when the rig
is keyed in the voice and digital modes.

The possibility of duplex operation comes up from time to time, dating
back  to Wayne's email in > 2009 (copied below) indicating it 'could be
possible' on different bands > using the sub-rx.  The last update (also
below, from 2/12) was that there was of yet no progress.  Maybe with
the KAT500, KX3 releases the Elecraft guys may be looking for something
different to work on and pick this???

This is also of interest to the satellite guys too of course.

There were some independent > measurements of isolation that were
copied to the reflector that seemed to show the isolation may be robust
enough to hold out hope.
