Please refer to the antenna switching diagram for possible antenna combinations. You can connect a dummy load to the main antenna jack (for safe TX tests at high power), but connect a real antenna to RX ANT IN, and simulate how full QSK will sound without actually putting out an on-the-air signal. If you connect an antenna to the main antenna jack, and connect RX ANT OUT to a second receiver/transceiver, you can A/B test the two rigs just by tapping RX ANT on the front panel. With RX ANT OFF (normal), the K3 will get the antenna; with RX ANT ON, the other rig will get the antenna.
