Tom,

To the best of my knowledge, there is no external signal from the K3/K3S to indicate whether ANT1 or ANT2 is active.

If you have any manual switching in place, incorporate it in that switching.

Connect the KPA-1500 via the ACC cable and thus free up the PTT
output.    The system is very smart and works exceptionally well.   I
use this method with my KPA500 and KAT500.

The PTT Out is connected to the VHF transverter.

I need to be able to disconnect the antenna to my SDRs when transmitting.  This used to be easy but now my PTT Out jack is committed to the KPA-1500.  I'm looking for suggestions of how best to accomplish this - I don't believe sequencing is required, just a second PTT output.

Ideas?

….thanks to comments and suggestions from K9ZTV and W2CS.

My K3 has the Sub Receiver installed, and I have been playing around with
diversity reception, using a random wire connected to the sub-receiver
antenna input BNC connector.  Apparently the carrier operated relay that protects the receiver from overload is being triggered by lots of RF coming
into that random wire. When I disconnect the receive antenna, no more
clicking. Now that I know what it is, I'll just ignore it. Or maybe someday
I'll rig a manual T-R switch arrangement to disconnect the sub receiver
antenna except when actually using it.

Thanks, gents!
