[Elecraft] KAT500 antenna selection

"I didn’t say “set the operating frequency.” I said “tuning it.”

I have complete manual control over L, C, and C side without transmitting.  I can, therefore, set a tuning solution for any frequency bin within the KAT500 frequency range without transmitting.  I can also recall a stored tuning solution for any frequency without transmitting.  I think both would qualify as "tuning it".

What would be true is that AutoTune cannot be performed without transmitting.

What I actually wanted to do this morning was listen to WWV on  5 MHz and I wanted to use my 40 m dipole.  That antenna was not selectable.  I later found it could be selected if I changed the 60 m enabled antennas to include the 40 m dipole.
