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.
