[Elecraft] Suggestions for using the KPA500 with two antennas?

Until the KAT500 comes along I am presently using a two-position antenna
switch connected to the amp's output.  One line goes to my Rat Pak
6-position remote antenna switch, the other goes to my 12m rotatable dipole
that I recently added to my ant. farm.

Yes, a few times I've forgotten to switch to the correct antenna while
xmitting but the KPA500 has always warned me via all the flashing red LEDs
and HI REFL PWR message (oops!)---at least to no ill effect, thanks to the
brilliant Elecraft engineering.  

You might want to try this arrangement (and make a little sticker to remind
you to have the switch set on the right antenna before xmitting like I did)
in the meantime.
