[Elecraft] K3 add on kit idea

[Dick PA3CW]

Like the antenna's...my idea has to do with a lot of paddles / keys.  I like a box with 6 or so inputs (stereo plugs), in which i can plug either straight keys or paddles.  It has to accept all wiring possibilities. By pressing the straight key down, or paddling first dot and than dash, the input has to recognize the proper wiring.  Output has to go to two or more different transmitters. I would love such an add on!!
Tried to program it in a PIC once but as i am no programmer did not succeed fully.  A small display can be added to the device. What an innovation for CW, never saw such a device!

Recently there was a request for ideas for kits that could be useful to
accompany a K3.

When we use diversity mode antenna switching becomes a different problem
than I have run into before. The usual antenna switch routes many antennas
to one radio port. Some of us have many antennas that need routing to two or
more radio ports.

So I could imagine a useful kit would read K3 band decode and map something
like 6 or 8 antennas to 2 or 3 ports and makes sure the K3 does not transmit
into the other radio ports.

Some attention to stations using two K3's or a second receiver might be
useful also. Not sure what this would entail because I don't operate that
way.
