My most wonderful and understanding wife has requested that the 
number of "wires" coming into the house be minimized. To 
accommodate her wishes, I have an external antenna switch. It 
would be very nice if all the Elecraft tuners could take an 
externally provided antenna ID to use to recall the antenna 
tuning parameters. A 4 bit "band ID" would be ideal, but a 
command over the RS-232 interface would also work.
