Sounds like a simple antenna switch is your solution. Esp since you are using mag loops which do not use a tuner. I just bought a band decoder($75)from a lady on the group and you would need that and a remote switch that senses band voltages. Again a lot of investment . BTW your MO is in the mail.

I recently built a KX-1, and had the following problems (none of which were my fault): 1. Factory installed solder bridge on the DDS chip pins, shorting out clock input. 2. Bad DDS chip causing really bizarre behavior. Unrelated to above solder bridge and definitely not a bad connection.
