[Elecraft] OT: Coax Switch After the Tuner?

[Don Wilhelm]

Eric,

The only danger to the K3 that I can think of is if you fail to turn the 
switch to the K3 position and subsequently transmit.
If you listen before transmitting, you should be able to determine that 
the switch is incorrect - no signals equal switch in the wrong position.
