receive antenna

when you have a receive antenna hooked up and you go into transmit, is the
RX antenna port is MUTED, or is disconnected.

RC,

The receiver is muted during transmit - that has nothing to do with a
receive antenna.
I don't know how to mute an antenna, but it is certainly not disconnected.

Locate your RX antenna away from the transmit antennas, and if you hear
the COR being activated (relay clicking noise) take action to reduce the
RF energy coming in on the RX antenna.

Mike,

It would be good if you post that to the Elecraft reflector just for
general information.

Re: receive antenna

Would it help to increase the delay in transmitting, CW rise time? I know
there are products available from a few sources which introduce an extra
delay between TX and RX to overcome your situation. With My K3 and
inverted L the separation of K9AY and inverted L is greater than yours but
not as much as I would like and all is okay. Previously I had problems
with an Orion 2 when using an RX antenna. Experimenting with the delay is
easy to do.
