KX3 Ant question.

[Dave KK7SS]

Looking at the KX3 picture, specifically at the display, I notice the icon "ANT 1".
This would tend to imply an "ANT 2"
But I see only 1 antenna connection on the side.
A "left-over" from the K3 ?? Or..... !

Everything else looks to be very intuitive <G>

I think it's like in the K3.  You get the second antenna jack when you
buy the optional internal antenna tuner.

The KX3 itself has just one antenna jack, with or without the ATU. The  
external amp, however, also has an ATU option, and it has two antenna  
jacks. This is what you'd be controlling with the KX3's "ANT" switch.
