[Elecraft] Using KAT500 With Antenna Switch

All,

In the next few weeks, I'll be ordering my KAT500.  In my shack, to save 
on feed line tangles, I use an MFJ 5-port remote antenna switch.  Since 
I only have one feed line into the shack, and thus will only use one 
port on the KAT500, can I assume that I'll experience (expected) issues 
with storing tuning settings in memory?  By this, I mean that when I 
switch back and forth between my dipole and my 5-band Hexx Beam, the 
tuner will go through a tune cycle each time and not necessarily 
remember the settings?  This is what I expect, given that I plan to only 
use one antenna port, but want to verify that my assumption is, indeed, 
correct.

Thanks for the bandwidth.

73,
