I guess that until then, one needs to use the KRC2 if they want truely
automagic band-to-band changing with inverters on their K2.

[K2]------------+
 |              |
 +-[KRC2]---[COAX SWITCH]-----[HF Ant]
 |              |
[XVTR]----------+
   |
   +-------[VHF ANT]


Without this type of setup, having the KRC2 select if the output of the K2
goes to the XVTR or the HF Antenna, at least with the K2/100 one runs the
risk of cooking the input of the XVTR if they accidently neglect
disconnect the XVTR from the K2 RF Output.

Does this look like the right way to get things to act in harmony while
only having to hit band+ band- and nothing else to select between HF and
XVTR bands?
