[TowerTalk] Urgent Receive antenna for 20/15/10

[john at kk9a.com]

Sorry to hear about your problems.  I'll be bringing a K3S to St Croix VI
in a week. Years ago I had display issues once with a transceiver while in
Aruba. I spent an hour on the phone with K7JA of Yaesu, he tried very hard
to help me get it running but we were unsuccessful. Luckily I was able to
borrow a rig.

Most of your RX signals from the US should be loud so probably do not need
much for RX. Maybe you can listen on your low band antennas. I am not sure
how the AUX is wired in the K3 but it may be safer if you could put a
relay to short it during TX.

Do to a rig problem here in V31 my K3 currently cannot hear anything on
the main antenna ports. It does hear just fine on the Aux input.

It transmits fine via the main antenna.

I can toss up a dipole or V.

My question is should I add legs for 20/15/10 or will the 20m leg work ok
on 10m being that they are multiples or would I be better of for receive
adding a 10m leg?
