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 connector so just 
need a mod on the ANT Relay board.  I know I could put an outboard switch on 
the outside but I would like to put 6 M on one of the ports and with the 
outboard switch that make 2 extra connectors in the line.  Having the antenna 
switch inside the radio is a lot more elegant and efficient.  Having to pay for 
the antenna tuner just to get a second port goes against my miserly grain.  
Having the 2 ports without having to buy the antenna tuner would be a nice 
selling point for Elecraft I would think.  Wonder if anyone has ever tried to 
install the second antenna port by mod’ing the antenna relay board?  I have my 
asbestos suit on.  73 Mike K4PI
