"That sounds like a useful suggestion. At least it did unitil I thought
about it a while.
Connecting the input of the amp to port 2 is easy but what do I do with the
output. Antenna port 1 is already connected to my antenna switchs. What do I
do with the output from the amp? I could maybe connect both ports 1 and 2 to
the amp input and the amp output to the switch since only one at a time is
active but what happens when the port in use is sending 100W back into the
unused port? That scares me a little."
I use a MFJ-4726 6x6 switch. My K3 A antenna output connects directly to
one of the MFJ-4726 inputs. My K3 B antenna output goes to my ALS-600
amplifier, my MFJ-998 autotuner, and a separate MFJ-4726 input. So I use
the MFJ-4726 to select between barefoot or amplifier inputs, and direct the
output to one of three antennas or a dummy load.
