I'd go along with that to a great extent, though since my antenna on ANT 2
is only of use on the bands ANT 1 is no use at all on, and vice versa, it
makes perfect sense to me for the ANT selection to be linked to the band.
The trouble with "second guessing" is that the guesses may be right some of
the time (or for some people) and wrong for others. The issue doesn't arise
if a control performs just one function.
