OK thanks for that bit of info. Since the KAT500 and KPA500 do not
switch to 40M or 160M, I find it odd that both boxes exhibit the same
symptoms. I'd check to see that RF is actually getting to the KPA500
and KAT500 on those 2 bands. If no RF or inadequate RF level then they
won't switch.
You can switch the antennas via the manual switch on the Amp and ATU.
Does this work? And if it does switch then will the KAT resolve a match
on the band and antenna of choice? It should. If not then pressing
the TUNE button on the KAT should force it to resolve a match as long as
10 watts or so RF is present.
