A few years ago, someone had supplied PC boards  to the Elecraft reflector, that would replace the KANT3 and provide for two antennas. I got one and it works great. I wish I had more of them!  As far as I know they are no longer available. It was a one time thing. Dave K1WHS On 5/4/2022 11:

One thing that you may not understand is that MAN with BYP active is the same electrically as BYP mode). I use all 3 ANT ports of my KAT500 and never used any KAT mode except MAN. Some of my antennas work fine in MAN/Byp and others require some help with L and/or C. All antenna switching is au

No, but Elecraft makes the KAT500, and Greg is using a KAT500 with their FT-DX10. On Thu, May 5, 2022, 17:16 Ray wrote: > Did Elecraft make a FTdx Series of Radio Equipment ??? > I Must have missed it. Did I sign in to the Wrong thread……….. > > Ray WA6VAB Elecraft K3 > > > From: Joe Subich, W

When I got my KX3, I positioned it as outdoor use. The options I got at the moment were KXFL3, KXAT3, KXBC3 and MH3. When I got K3 as my main TRX, I repositioned the KX3 as both a back up TRX to K3 inside shack and the outdoor use. So, I got KXPA100. Later, I added KXPD3 for easy CW operation on

Your request can be attained by use of the KAT500 Utility to configure each antenna or antenna port per band as needed. I use Ant 1 and Ant 2 for my wire antennas, 160M - 10M and Ant 3 for my 6M yagi in bypass mode.  After setting up the KAT500 via the Utility, and training the KAT500 for the
