Hi Don Yes, if there were only two antennas, that would work., and I've done that. However, I have more than that, some connected to a rotary switch outboard to the K2. When I switch them, I don't want to retune the ATU with each new antenna I connect, as I'm often switching to find the best signal for a station I'm trying to work. Some antennas present a nice 50 ohm match as they are, and some don't. I'd like to put the 50 ohm matches all together on one port and those that need matching on the other port. I'm still trying to get to the point where all the antennas are 50 ohms at the switch, and then it wouldn't matter. But it ain't easy :-)
