[Elecraft] P3/TX Mon Coupler Switching Idea

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

One of the guys at Elecraft (Mike?) did this with a cheap switch box available off Amazon. I took that box and added some video analog switches and a band decoder to do it automagically and basis power level. Its a simple matter to do. Just get creative.

Currently I have a coupler right after my main linear via Ant 1 on the K3, but want to add a second coupler to the output of the KPA500 via Ant 2 on the K3. I then could switch between the outputs and use the same P3. I realize I can only use 1 coupler at a time, but changing cables etc out all the time would be a pain. Does anyone know of a switch that could handle this job. I have done a search on the internet and eBay and found nothing that would mate up to a RJ8 Connector which the TX Monitor and Couplers use. If any one is doing what I am contemplating I would like to hear from you. Tnx.
