Thanks to Steve for the menu item, but that doesn't appear in my KAT500
manual and the utility software doesn't show that as an option.
Must be a KPA1500 thing.

Change antennas, a "dit" will switch to the learned tuning solution, per bin,
for the newly selected antenna.
See the manual section: "Multiple Antennas and External Antenna Switches."

Sorry, I mis-spoke in my last msg.
The Six-Pak is connected to Ant1 on the KAT500, not the KPA500!

I'd like to know more about this, as it would solve an issue I have.
I have two stations, with multiple antennas switched between them with an
Array Solutions Six-Pak. On 80 and 40 I have both a vertical and a dipole,
and often one is better than the other. The tuning on them is different
Gill, you don't mention which firmware you're running on the KPA-1500.
About a month ago the guys at Elecraft released revised firmware to help
me fix what sounds like an identical problem. With the latest firmware
I jump back and forth between very dissimilar antennas on ANT 1 on 40M
(via
I use MFJ-998 that has two ports attached to 2 crisscrossed dipoles fed by
ladderline. When frequencies are pretuned, recalling tune on ANT1
automatically matches ANT2 so that switching to ANT2 does not need any extra
match.

I have two directional wire antennas for 160-40m that each work quite
well with the KPA1500. I can electrically switch between the two 'for
best signal' - they are on Ant port 1. Ant port 2 is dedicated to a beam
for 20M up. The tuning solution for each is wire antenna is different
enough to
