[Elecraft] KAT500 Antenna Selection?

[Gary Gregory]

*Ollie,

Correct.

I might add the advantage of using AUXBUS on the KAT500 (for me at least)
is on receive, changing bands to 'check' another band, there is no need to
Tx a DAH to effect a change from say ANT1 to ANT2 if that is the antenna
assigned to that band.

Without AUXBUS connected one has to TX some RF to cause an antenna change.

Convenience! (but as noted by Jim, not essential)

YMMV
