KX3 separate rx/tx antenna switch

[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 an active rx antenna? Specifically for the KX3? Could the ACC 1 or 2 be used for this? Thanks.

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

73,

I've been using this device for a couple of years, and it works very well.
I use the Pixel loop (or some other rx-only antenna) as the receive
antenna, and the RTR-2 switches the radio between the two antennas
while using either full QSK or semi-breakin keying.
