The simple solution to this is to TX a dit before making the call. I've
done this for years when working with auto-detect equipment like the
KAT500, KPA500, and 87A. On SSB, the equivalent is to tap the mic.

I'd love to have 50-ohm resonant antennas on every band. Short of that,
there does not appear to be any way around the ATU's need to identify
which antenna is selected by the external switch, before it can decide
which stored setting to apply. This takes a measurable amount of time,
as much as one character of 30 WPM CW, and I'm told that until this
process is completed, the amplifier is bypassed. I've observed, for
example, that when I pounce on a CQer significantly far away from the
frequency of my last QSO, the "N" in my call becomes "E", or goes away
entirely, as heard by the other station.
