[Elecraft] KAT500 antenna selection

[ANDY DURBIN]

I have a new KAT500 and am learning how to use it.  I have set up the antenna switching table in the expectation that the table will be followed when I'm in Automatic mode.  However, I find that the antenna switching table is also in effect when I'm in Manual mode.  I cannot manually select the antenna I wish to connect because my Manual selection is overridden by the table selection appropriate for the last transmitted frequency.


Why doesn't Manual mode give me full manual control?  Why can't I select the antenna I want to receive on without transmitting first?  Am I doing something wrong or is this an intentional limitation of the firmware design.


Thanks and 73,
