[Elecraft] K3: Antenna Ports

[Don Wilhelm]

In a related "wish list" item, I would like to have the ability to 
switch between 2 antennas, just like the KAT3 does now, but without the 
tuner part of the KAT3.  I have all resonant antennas and do not need 
the tuner on the K3.

I know I could just add the KAT3 and put it in bypass, but that is quite 
pricey for an antenna switch.
So how about a "KAS3" option (K3 Antenna Switch)?
