Try interconnecting K3 and KX3 to support 17 ham bands from 600 
meters to 10-GHz!

Note the station block diagram (scroll down a page).  Then scroll 
down to the photos (circa 2010).  This is an "octopus's 
garden"!  Wall plate for cable ingress has 10 N-connectors and 11 UHF 
connectors and about as many control lines exiting the 
station.  There are more than 17 antenna.  Only half the stuff was 
installed in 2010.

Feel free to roam the website which will show you more of "my stuff".

Most of you aren't even close to an "octopus" ;-)

PS:  Plans now to build onto the 24x28 foot garage a 26x18 foot ham 
shack (all wiring will have to be re-run- ugh).
