[Elecraft] KAT500 antenna selection

[Dennis Moore]

Manual/Automatic is not used for overriding antenna selection, it turns 
on or off the automatic initiation of a tune cycle when high SWR is 
detected for the antenna that is currently selected. Many users will 
tune each of their antennas on separate bands using automatic then 
switch it to manual so that it doesn't attempt to retune that antenna 
again.

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.
