[Elecraft] K3: Upgrade of KAT3 possible?

[george allen]

Why not take two relays,put them in a box with connectors, and bypass the tuner externally.  We use relays as part of our switching system for two remote stations.

Send me an email direct and I will send you a schematic, part numbers and sources for the relays.
