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

I found my issue.....operator error.
I didn't realize that the band selection was only 160m. I didn't try 
changing the antenna config when 160m was selected since I don't operate 
on 160m yet.

I don't remember how that got changed. Anyway...selected all bands AND 
selected enabled for all antennas and it works fine.

Sorry about that!
I am still loving this autotuner. Currently tuning a doublet, but will 
be tuning a longer wire soon (most likely a loop).
