SO2R with 2 K3s, one KPA-1500

[N4ZR]

I don't believe I've seen anything definitive about this possibility. 
Has anyone done it?

Perhaps it is doable within a single band. Will have to include antenna
switching plus sequencer to avoid hot switching.

In two band SO2R, the amp would have to switch to another band and adjust
the antenna tuner. Perhaps too slow if done over serial CAT.

The fact is that KPA1500 was not designed for SO2R with a single amplifier.
Buy a second one or get something else (Expert or 4O3A when available).

Plus SO2R could cause the amp to run almost continuously. I would not  
want to do this, especially on RTTY 2BSIQ.
