I have frequently read that the jack in question is strictly for factory production testing and has no use beyond that purpose. I know that in the past folks have speculated that perhaps it could be used for an external keyboard or some other accessory. Unfortunately, the Elecraft response has always been no it can't. Beyond that, it is a mystery.

I see some lines on the schematic that indicate the data bus is available. Can the signals on the RJ-11 be controlled via macros, or can I cause a front-panel button to put something on those control lines without otherwise performing an in-radio operation? I have an external switching matrix for listening antennas that I'd like to control via the front-panel; I theorize that I could build something that snoops the data bus via the RJ11 and then use M1-M4 to control which RX antenna I'm listening to....
