The KAT500 has no clue what provides the RF when sensing the Freq.

Another connection to the coax switch will come from a Collins KWM-2 I recently purchased. I want the KWM-2 to get the benefits of the KAT500 tuner. So I just change the switch to decide which transceiver is connected to the KAT500.
