[Elecraft] KAT500 Problem --- switching antennas

[Phil Hystad]

Ever since the most recent KAT500/KPA500 firmware updates, switching between antenna 1 and 2 shows funny behavior.

For example, on the 20 meter band I have two antennas:

        Antenna #1 -- Wire 80-meter Dipole (ladder line fed)

        Antenna #2 -- Hex beam

So, I am positioned on antenna #2 for 20 meters.  I switch manually with the KAT500 to antenna #1.  This works fine.  Then, when I switch from #1 back to #2, the KAT500 briefly goes to #2 enough to light up the #2 LED but then immediately bounces back to #1.  Now, if I switch again from #1 to #2, there is no bounce back and everything is fine.

This problem is totally repeatable.  Always on a bounce the first attempt to return to #2 from #1 but the second time (done immediately) works fine without problems.

Anyone else see this behavior.
