Re: [Elecraft] K3 Multiple antenna connections

G'day, Not strictly true. certainly two outputs fit and could be provided without the need for the ATU, just a switch module. I've ordered the ATU not only for the two outputs but also for those times when I need to use the wrong antenna for the right reasons. Regards, Mike VP8NO | If I

Do we know if there are any plans to allow several outputs without an ATU? It is not really worth getting the auto ATU for the K3 if you intend to use an external amplifier or even a well matched antenna like a tuned loop or a 6m beam, but currently it seems to be the only way to get more than

If I were you, Mike, I would just go ahead and plan on having an external switch box, maybe out in front of your amplifier. Not practical inside the K3. de Joe, aa4nn - Original Message - From: AD6XY - Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do we know if there are any plans to allow several outputs

In my opinion, be that as it may, external interfaces are always more flexible. For example, antenna tuners, antenna switches, etc. give many options. I use LDG autotuners (great) and an LDG antenna switch. When the power is off, all antenna are grounded. Neal WA6OCP AD6XY - Mike wrote:
