Re: (Too much..) RF back and through the RX ANT OUT for external receiver

Don Wilhelm
Graziano,

I am not sure why the Colbri Nano cannot accept the K3 IF OUT.  Tune it
to 8215kHz and try again.

The RX ANT out is only active if the RX ANT is selected, and is located
behind the T/R switch, so it should be safe (see the K3 block diagram in
the manual).

73,
Don W3FPR
