Re: Topband: Rx splinter

[Steve Lawrence via Topband <topband@contesting.com>]

I built a Magic T to connect my RX loop to both my Elecraft K3's RX only input 
and to the Sub RX AUX input to facilitate diversity receive. When the sub RX is 
turned on in the K3 there is already a 3 dB drop that you can hear in the main 
RX with the sub is connected to the main antenna. The Magic T behaves the same 
way.

After exchanges with several other K3 users I changed to a wired-or of both the 
RX only and Sub RX AUX input. IE no splitter. It's been this way for a long 
time. And diversity RX works just as it should.

Wire-or might be worth a try. Your mileage will vary.

Please, no lectures on impedance mismatches.
