Ian,
That is correct. Because of that situation, you might want to consider
another coax run to the shack, one for the HexBeam and another for the
dipole, and let the KAT500 do the switching. That way the KAT500 will
remember the (per band segment) settings for each antenna - once it is
tuned for each band segment, there is no need for re-tuning.

All,
In the next few weeks, I'll be ordering my KAT500. In my shack, to
save on feed line tangles, I use an MFJ 5-port remote antenna switch.
Since I only have one feed line into the shack, and thus will only use
one port on the KAT500, can I assume that I'll experience (expected)
issues with storing tuning settings in memory? By this, I mean that
when I switch back and forth between my dipole and my 5-band Hexx
Beam, the tuner will go through a tune cycle each time and not
necessarily remember the settings? This is what I expect, given that I
plan to only use one antenna port, but want to verify that my
assumption is, indeed, correct.
Thanks for the bandwidth.
