Of course my last post on this topic was in jest (humor).
Here are a couple diagrams and photos to illustrate how ridiculous it is:

multi-pos coax switches):

connectors) plus a few coax come thru holes in the panel (picture
before all cables were connected):

http://www.kl7uw.com/shackleft_2011.jpgNo amount of antenna connections on the KAT-500 would come close to
satisfying my needs. I have two 50-foot towers separated 130-feet
apart, plus a short satellite antenna tower and a big dish also
separated by long distance. A single antenna tuner will not do it.
But for the average HF station 3-5 connections probably would.
