Unbelievable thread - my delete key is "smokin"! MY station has a lot of antenna cables: 1) HF tribander 2) 80/40m dipole 3) 600m inverted-L 4) 30m sloper 5) 6m/10m J-Pole (remotely band switched) 6) 6m 3-elem yagi 7) 6m 6-elem yagi 8) 2m/70cm dual-band base whip (17-foot) 9) 435-MHz CP x-yagi (satellite) 10) 2m 7-elem yagi (satellite) 11) 2.4 GHz patch antenna (satellite) 12) 2m-eme array of four 10-element yagis with one Tx and two Rx coax lines 13) 900-MHz 33 loop-yagi - remote radio has only control cable 14) 1296-MHz 45 loop-yagi with separate Rx coax 15) 222-MHz dual 11-elem yagis Tx and Rx coax 16) 432-MHz 11-elem yagi Tx and Rx coax 17) 144 and 435 MHz Lindenblad omni CP antennas for satellite - separate coax lines 18) 16-foot dish with 1296 and 432 MHz feeds each with separate Tx and Rx coax lines I think I got all of them?
Now I want the KAT-500 to tune 500-KHz to 1296-MHz and provide approx 25 antenna outputs to handle my station needs. Is this reasonable? duh? I either manually change coax lines to the radio equipment or use coax switches to accomplish this - I sure as heck don't expect the radios to provide it. BTW my K3/10 has ANT1, AUX, and the KXV3 ports which I think is pretty nice! Sure having ANT2 would be nice but I use external antenna tuners. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-100w, 1296-60w, 3400-?
