This is similar to how I connect the K3 with KAT3. Port ANT-2 goes to
my antenna switch and port ANT-1 goes to my dummy load. When the K3 is
powered down, it is in the ANT-1 position, so I get a measure of
protection when I switch off the rig.

I originally did not purchase the KAT3 - I have all resonant antennas at
home.
Then I had thoughts about using my K3 at the local club's Field Day
location, so I bought the KX3 to help with that situation - yes the club
has an antenna for each band, but depending on the current hanging
height,

I too am used to having multiple antenna ports built into the radio and use

What you are requesting is easier to implement externally. I for one think
there are too many options. I need to cut internal AF switching to A-b, A-A,
b-b. It takes too long to cycle through all the switchig AF options when in
the contest. So I will implement what I need externally mysel
Mike,
I think that the second antenna port (without a tuner) was not high on
the list of the designcriteria when the K3 started off. Changing a full
grown product and full grown production line now is not wise. Not that
it cannot be done, but how much must one invest to get this done and how

I have asked Elecraft several time about giving the option of a second antenna
port without having to buy an antenna tuner but so far nothing. I have had a
FT1000MP for over 15 years and never used the internal tuner so don’t see me
needing one in the K3. The hole is already there for the conn

It's OK Eric. Even the best of us feel that way after a long week! 8-)

And a 'Beer Holder' added to the accessories list would sell also.

John,
Excellent idea on the beer cooler!
I would like to see a jack on the back which would provide
varying audio siren sounds that could be triggered from DX
cluster spots. Low warble for one that has been worked but not
confirmed, medium siren for one that is needed on a particular band,
and a
Har, har...more jokes, I see. There is a marvelous solution to the lack
of a second antenna port. It is the so-called "Armstrong" method of
changing cables: you unscrew one PL259 and screw another in. If you'd
rather have a "device," then there are excellent, grounding, shielded,
coax switches
