I think you are correct, it is an antenna switch that allows multiple antennas and multiple connections. Such a product that decodes what antenna you want and what connection you want would be a really ambitious product. The SteppIR antennas with a transceiver interface might be a solution. I have the SteppIR and the K3, but my antenna selection is all manual. I don't even have the Six Pack.
