[Elecraft] KPA500 and KAT500 Ports

[Edward R. Cole]

Of course my last post on this topic was in jest (humor).

Here are a couple diagrams and photos to illustrate how ridiculous it is:

this is pretty close to the current configuration (note several 
multi-pos coax switches):

thru-wall coax patch panel (11 N, 9 UHF, 2 BNC, 4 TNC, 2 F 
connectors) plus a few coax come thru holes in the panel (picture 
before all cables were connected):

This picture shows the antenna switch panel below the FT-847:

No amount of antenna connections on the KAT-500 would come close to 
satisfying my needs.  I have two 50-foot towers separated 130-feet 
apart, plus a short satellite antenna tower and a big dish also 
separated by long distance.  A single antenna tuner will not do it.

But for the average HF station 3-5 connections probably would.
