This is similar to how I connect the K3 with KAT3. Port ANT-2 goes to
my antenna switch and port ANT-1 goes to my dummy load. When the K3 is
powered down, it is in the ANT-1 position, so I get a measure of
protection when I switch off the rig.

I too am used to having multiple antenna ports built into the radio and use
this to advantage in various situations. I too have no use for an antenna
tuner as I use only resonant antennas. It seems there are three options... 1)
live with it as is and use outboard switching :-( (2) Give in

I originally did not purchase the KAT3 - I have all resonant antennas at
home.
Then I had thoughts about using my K3 at the local club's Field Day
location, so I bought the KX3 to help with that situation - yes the club
has an antenna for each band, but depending on the current hanging

Mike,
I think that the second antenna port (without a tuner) was not high on
the list of the designcriteria when the K3 started off. Changing a full
grown product and full grown production line now is not wise. Not that
it cannot be done, but how much must one invest to get this done and how
Arie,
What you are requesting is easier to implement externally. I for one think
there are too many options. I need to cut internal AF switching to A-b, A-A,
b-b. It takes too long to cycle through all the switchig AF options when in
the contest. So I will implement what I need externally
I have asked Elecraft several time about giving the option of a second antenna
port without having to buy an antenna tuner but so far nothing. I have had a
FT1000MP for over 15 years and never used the internal tuner so don’t see me
needing one in the K3. The hole is already there for the
Har, har...more jokes, I see. There is a marvelous solution to the lack
of a second antenna port. It is the so-called Armstrong method of
changing cables: you unscrew one PL259 and screw another in. If you'd
rather have a device, then there are excellent, grounding, shielded,

Excellent idea on the beer cooler!
I would like to see a jack on the back which would provide
varying audio siren sounds that could be triggered from DX
cluster spots. Low warble for one that has been worked but not
confirmed, medium siren for one that is needed on a particular band,

Now THERE is something that would get me on the air more often! 8-)
