[Elecraft] KAT500 Tuner antenna selection stuck in #2 position

I changed the configuration accordingly and no joy. I had everything set 
up properly in the configuration selection - enabled all the antenna 
ports. What is interesting is if I chose an antenna port other than #2, 
it does change on the 'operate' menu briefly, but then reverts back to 
#2. There are no relay clicks from this action.

I have no idea how those got changed since they had been OK before but I reconfigured the antenna selection options and saved the configuration and everything worked correctly after that.
