K3 and remote antenna switches

Pierfrancesco Caci

Hello,
I'm thinking of getting a remote antenna switch to be placed on the
roof. I've found this thread:
http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K-Line-Antenna-switching-td7563906.html
and it looks like the Array Solutions' SixPack could be a good
solution.
Browsing their application notes, I've found a mention of using it with
a dual-receiver radio for diversity:
http://www.arraysolutions.com/Products/diversityreciver.htm#top%20of%20page 
Is anyone using it with a K3 connected to both inputs? My idea would be
to have vertically polarized antennas on one K3 input, and horizontally
polarized ones on the other, but the SixPack seems to allow for further
flexibility.
How to control it? The dual-radio controller seems to assume 2 radios,
each having its own rs232 or band-decoder.
Will the controller itself need to be programmed by a computer, or can
it be programmed entirely from pushbuttons/jumpers?

Thanks

Pf
