[Elecraft] K3 Auto antenna switching

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

The band data (when decoded) will allow you to connect both of your 80 
meter antennas to the K3 - one to ANT1 and the other to ANT2 (assuming 
you have the KAT3 installed).  Your external antenna switching relay 
system (working from the band data decode) is responsible for connecting 
the correct 80 meter antenna to ANT1 and the other one to ANT2.  The 
relay system should connect both of them when you are on 80 meters.

Then you use the K3 ANT button to switch between ANT1 and ANT2.

The same system can be used to handle two antennas on any one band.  It 
is all in the way you set up your band decoder and your antenna 
switching relay system - there are many possibilities, and will vary 
from one installation to another.

73,
Don W3FPR
