Hi Joel, I think you probably need to go into the KAT500 Utility to the Antenna Configuration screen. You can check and uncheck the antennas needed for each band. I don't have my station set up at the moment but something like this might work:
Select Band 17 and 12, check Ant 1 and click apply Select Band 20, 15, 10 and 6, check Ant 2 and click apply Select Band 160, 80, 60, 40, and 30, check Ant 3 and click apply. Tuner mode will be selected when you are on a band and you select the mode. Note that you should train the tuner on 160, 80, 60, 40 and 30 and then run Manual mode, not auto mode.

I was just changing my antenna lineup and I have three antennas connected to the rear: Ant 1 -- a 17/12 m coupled resonator dipole -- wants to be in bypass mode Ant 2 -- a 20/15/10 tribander with 6 m 3el coupled resonator -- wants to be in bypass mode Ant 3 -- an 80 CF-zepp -- wants to be in auto mode and used on 160, 80, 60, 40 and 30 meters Each antenna wants to be the default on the bands shown, although Ant 3 can be used on all bands, I can change manually if needed. I can cause the tuner to remember to change antennas as I change bands, but it won't seem to remember whether to be in auto or bypass mode as the band changes. This is the case whether I just set it and use it on the bands, or if I try using the config program (1.16.7.25) to force it. I don't think I'm asking it to do more than it should -- am I missing a crucial step or setting?
