That doesn't explain how he expects the rig to short out the port for
Ant 2 . .. WHEN IT HAS BEEN SELECTED ... just because there is no actual
antenna connected to it. I don't get the reasoning behind the original
query.

We hook dummy loads to ANT 2 on all our K3s during FD to prevent inadvertent
transmissions when no antenna is connected to it. The ATU TUNE button is
immediately above the ANT button and fat-fingered/far-sighted ops unfamiliar
with the K3 have been known to hit the wrong one, especially on the higher
bands where the noise floor makes it difficult to detect the absence of an
antenna.

If you selected Ant 2 it wouldn't have been "unused". How is the rig supposed
to know you don't have anything physically connected to that port?
