Jim, Thanks for the info.  You understand the problem for sure.  Dick is 
being very helpful now, but I'm getting erratic data for him because 
switching between antennas sometimes only results in "NEED TUNE PWR" 
with OK result after a few seconds, and other times I get the fault due 
to initially high SWR and high power output.  I'll probably go with 
switching to STBY before applying RF to the new antenna.  That way the 
instant mismatch won't create a fault due to 1800w output!  BTW I hope 
your house was unaffected by the fire.  I feel badly for Bob.

Dave.... that ANT1 ANT2 arrangement will not work with my setup for 
other reasons.  Thanks anyhow for the suggestion.

Jim
