[Elecraft] K3 add on kit idea

[Jack Smith]

Partial answer to your desire is the Z1300 antenna multicoupler. One 
input, and either 4 or 8 outputs. Isolation between each output port and 
frequency range of 20 KHz to 50 MHz with very good IP2 and IP3 performance.

It's still under development, but I'm on the second round of prototype 
PCBs, with a target ship date around the end of May.

I'll have more details and photos and performance measurements and 
pricing at my web page when the ship date is a  bit closer. Available as 
a kit or wired/tested, and with some options, although the early release 
may not have all optional boards available.
