[Elecraft] KAT 500 Antenna Selection Problems

[Paul Ecker]

In the KAT 500 Utility – Configuration- Antennas- Band- 17M;

 I have Antenna 3 checked as Enabled and Antenna 3 as Preferred. No other
antennas are selected for 17 m. This configuration has been  applied and
saved. Setup is Flex 6600, KAT500, KPA500 & win 10 pc.

The problem I am having is: with radio on 17 M, when I run a “tune”
sequence, the KAT does not switch to Ant 3, in fact it will not let me
manually switch to ant 3. I occasionally have the same issue with the tuner
not switching on other bands, to the selected antenna as set up in the
utility.

Any suggestions on what may be causing this ?
