I am using a KAT-500 Tuner with an ICOM IC-7600. I am not providing BAND
data, which is in line with recommendations for connecting this radio in
the Elecraft manuals. The documents tell me that RF Frequency-sensing
overrides all other information. I have two antennas enabled. ANT 1 is a
vertical for 10-40 meters. ANT 2 is an 80 meter dipole. I only ENABLE
ANT 2 for 80 meters and only ENABLE ANT 1 for all other Bands, in the
KAT Config.
If I change Bands and hit the Tune button, KAT-500 will not change to
the correct antenna Instead, it tries to Tune with the wrong antenna.
The second time I hit TUNE, it will go to the correct antenna. If
instead, I change Bands and hit the Key, the correct antenna is
selected. That is fine on CW, but not great for other Modes. Is this a
bug? I don't see how this could be desirable. I think this would be
especially bad if I have the KPA-500 powered-ON.
I confirmed that the latest KAT-500 Firmware is installed. Am I missing
something??
