[Elecraft] KPA500 single input and output

I suspect that many of us have separate antennas for different bands, most likely for HF and 6m. The two antenna inputs on the K3 work very well for that purpose and switch automatically when I switch bands. That is why I am curious why the KPA500 does not at least have two switched outputs
