Get one of the new KRC2 band decoders and an Ameritron remote antenna 
switch.  Connect the KAT100 antenna 1 output directly to the amp input, 
and tell the K2 you are using antenna 1 on all bands.  Put the Ameritron 
switch between the amp output and the antennas.

You may need to retune the KAT100 when you turn the amp on and off if 
the input impedance of the amp is significantly different from that of 
the antenna in use.  Or you may not need the KAT100 at all.

You can connect a 30-meter antenna to the antenna 2 output of the 
KAT100, since you are limited to 200 watts on that band anyway!
