Jeff, That was on my wish list a couple years ago because I have the same all resonant antenna situation here. I don't know what has become of that request (I never did get a "yes" on it). In the meantime, I solved my problem with an external relay box to control my 3 HF feedlines plus the 6 meter feedline to both the K3 and my Yaesu FT847. It is some complex switching, but includes connecting both transceivers to a dummy load when not in use. Such a switching arrangement could be driven by the K3 band data outputs, but I chose to use manual switches for control - it gives me more knobs and lights in my hamshack to impress visitors. :-)
