Doug,
In my uninformed opinion, I believe it could be easily accomplished.
Conceptually it could be the current KAT3 board with only part of the
components mounted, and firmware that is the same as the KAT3 except
that the 'bypass' function would be permanently set on.
Implementation and integration into the current K3 firmware and menu
structure is quite another matter.

In a related "wish list" item, I would like to have the ability to
switch between 2 antennas, just like the KAT3 does now, but without the
tuner part of the KAT3. I have all resonant antennas and do not need
the tuner on the K3.
I know I could just add the KAT3 and put it in bypass, but that is quite
pricey for an antenna switch.
So how about a "KAS3" option (K3 Antenna Switch)?
I AGREE WITH THIS 100%.
Of course, it will probably be ~$99, still rather pricey, but much
better than buying a KAT3...and I would not mind being "wrong" on the
price (in the right direction).
