It's been said that the KPA500 might be either desktop or remote.
If this is the case, I would suppose a similar, add-on antenna switch could
be offered.

The other thing that seems to be missing. The K3 ought to be switching
the antenna switchbox, not the computer or some other device.
The reason is obvious, the proper antenna will always be connected
quickly. The same cannot be said for other approaches.
I used to use computer switching with a transceiver that had no BCD
output via a logging program. Pouncing on a spot and transmitting often
resulted in the wrong antenna still being attached and then hot
switching of the correct on in line. Not nice with an amp attached.
If some other slower device has to be used, some kind of inhibit signal
should be applied to the K3 until switching or switching + tuning is
complete.
