[Elecraft] Antenna 2

[David Gilbert]

That doesn't explain how he expects the rig to short out the port for 
Ant 2 . .. WHEN IT HAS BEEN SELECTED ... just because there is no actual 
antenna connected to it.  I don't get the reasoning behind the original 
query.

The ATU TUNE button is immediately above the ANT button and fat-fingered/far-sighted ops unfamiliar with the K3 have been known to hit the wrong one, especially on the higher bands where the noise floor makes it difficult to detect the absence of an antenna.
