Of course my last post on this topic was in jest (humor). Here are a couple diagrams and photos to illustrate how ridiculous it is: http://www.kl7uw.com/station%20layout.htm this is pretty close to the current configuration (note several multi-pos coax switches): http://www.kl7uw.com/2011_Station.jpg thru-wall coax patch panel (11 N, 9 UHF, 2 BNC, 4 TNC, 2 F connectors) plus a few coax come thru holes in the panel (picture before all cables were connected): http://www.kl7uw.com/Cableway_inside.jpg This picture shows the antenna switch panel below the FT-847: http://www.kl7uw.com/shackleft_2011.jpg
No amount of antenna connections on the KAT-500 would come close to satisfying my needs. I have two 50-foot towers separated 130-feet apart, plus a short satellite antenna tower and a big dish also separated by long distance. A single antenna tuner will not do it. But for the average HF station 3-5 connections probably would. 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-?
