Jim, I am a portable station and use three antennas, a tri-band yagi, a double extended zepp and a low band wire antenna that can vary depending on my location. The KAT-500 in the remote version would have allowed me to mount it in the trailer and have the feedlines terminated there.
I was told that the KAT-500 would handle 3 antennas, one of which could handle a balanced feedline that appears to be not the case. Whilst there are many options for remote antenna switching, I am portable so to continue to add extra hardware becomes prohibitive. The obvious solution for me is to look at hardware that will provide multiple antennas, auto-tuning and 400+W output.....
