[Elecraft] K3 main/sub band independence -- need more firmware testers

[Brett Howard]

You can turn it on/off on a per band basis but not on a per direction
basis.  I still think that you should be able to use the RX ant path in
some manner.  Depending on what you're trying to do.  Although I'd still
need to take a closer look at the block diagrams again but I thought the
RX path was pretty much straight in. 

Depending on where the RX ANT OUT port comes from you may be able to
short the out back into the IN and then use a tap from where ever the
out comes from (hopefully before the ATU).
