One of the guys at Elecraft (Mike?) did this with a cheap switch box available
off Amazon. I took that box and added some video analog switches and a band
decoder to do it automagically and basis power level. Its a simple matter to
do. Just get creative.

tra sensor cable with male RJ45
connectors to attach the switch box to the P3. A
suitable 6-foot W2 Sensor Cable available from
Elecraft (Order E850638).

This is a Tx Mon FAQ...
Page 6, 3c. "These 2 items will be connected with CAT5/CAT6 cable
plugging into RJ45 jacks."
"RJ8" in the Tx Mon Installation Manual is a
Followup:
Looking in the manual, the picture of the TXMON board clearly shows that
the modular jack has 8 conductors. I'm almost certain that is an RJ-45
8P8C jack...
But from what I can see, they are using AT LEAST conductors 2,4,6, and
8... (the solid wires for both 568A and 568B). You can see
FYI, an RJ-8 modular plug will plug right in to an RJ-45 modular
jack The retention key on the connector centers it in the RJ-45
jack so that the 4 center conductors are lined up.
The key to making this work is to verify:
1) How are the jacks wired on the switch: 568A or 568B.
2) Match up
Hi Alan:
Tnx for the info, good to see someone else has done it. Question though, does
the Coupler cable use RJ45 connectors, reason I ask I see on the Elecraft site
it says RJ8, and I am not finding too much info on the Internet ref RJ8
Connectors. Perhaps I am reading too much into it.

Here's the one I use. It allows switching up to four 8P8C (RJ-45)
connectors. $10 from Amazon:
I am thinking of getting a 2nd DCHF Coupler for my P3 TX Monitor Setup. This
way I could Monitor 2 Outputs from the same P3. Currently I have a coupler
right after my main linear via Ant 1 on the K3, but want to add a second
coupler to the output of the KPA500 via Ant 2 on the K3. I then could
