Dear Group

I have hit the limits of my antenna's and have come to the realization I 
am more TX than RX, which I guess is the norm for the topband and 80m.

Anyway am considering putting a second receiver in my K3 and putting up 
a receive only antenna.

Things that I have been looking at are as follows

The shared alex loop array either a SAL 20 or 30

The other is the Hi-Z system either the 3 or 4 antenna receive system.

I do not have the acreage for a beverage system but I have room for one 
of the above.

So I wish to get opinions and pros & cons as I have learned its better 
to learn from others on what did or did not work well or what 
compromises they made as once you spend the money you can not get it 
back and you have to live with your choices.

Thanks in advance for all your help and advice.
