You don't need to manually choose an antenna on startup. It remembers what was last used on each band (assuming you are using an Elecraft or Kenwood rig with it). I think it will still remember the last used even in a dumb situation without knowledge from the radio; it just needs the radio support to have "per-band" memory. I could be wrong. I know it remembers fine with my K3.
