[Elecraft] Per antenna ATU settings for KX3/KXPA100

Is it possible to bypass the ATU on one antenna but not the other? I have a
small transmitting loop on ANT1 and a horizontal wire loop on ANT2. The STL
has an ATU for tuning the loop physically, and thus I should not be using
the ATU on the KXPA100/KX3. I'd like to disable/bypass the ATU for this
antenna, but the ATU is necessary for the horizontal wire loop, so I would
like to have it enabled on the other antenna.

Currently I have to be careful when switching antennas not to short-press
the button as it will tune on the STL if I do, which is non-ideal. I also
have to clear all tuning every time I turn on my radio to make sure I
haven't fat-fingered and tuned up the wrong antenna. Having the ATU setting
by antenna specific would make this significantly easier.

If this isn't currently possible, I submit it as a feature request.

Thanks,
David
