1. At least eleven antenna ports: 6 primary bands 160-10, 3 WARC bands, 6 and 2 meters. All of these bands are possible with a K3.
2. At least two radio ports for SO2R, but more would be "nice". 3. Generalized ability to user-configure any antenna port to any band. Example use cases are a tribander, a 40 meter dipole used on 15 meters and a 10 meter antenna used for 12 meters. 4. Maximum integration with the K3, KPA500, KAT500 and KRC2 as possible. 5. Remotable, for those who wish to mount it on a tower closer to the antennas, with only the radio coaxes and control cable back to the operating position.
