[Elecraft] K3: KAS3 (was Antenna Ports)

[Don Wilhelm]

Doug,

In my uninformed opinion, I believe it could be easily accomplished.  
Conceptually it could be the current KAT3 board with only part of the 
components mounted, and firmware that is the same as the KAT3 except 
that the 'bypass' function would be permanently set on.

Implementation and integration into the current K3 firmware and menu 
structure is quite another matter.
