KX3 TX/RX antenna changeover relay?

G4JQT
Many of us have separate receive antennas - often active loops etc. - because out transmit antenna picks up too much noise. Does Elecraft have a changeover device that switches between the two fast enough not to damage the rx antenna? Specifically for the KX3? Thanks.

PS: I have this option for the K2 and it's very useful.

73,

Ian, G4JQT
