I'd still suspect the config settings, this test just showed that the KAT-500 is doing well mechanically. The tuner is getting a signal from the K3 telling it what band you're on so appears to be limiting your options based on that band. You can repeat the mode/ant test with the radio off, you should get the same results as with the control cables disconnected.

In the utility, Edit Configuration, Antenna tab, go through each of the band settings and enable whatever antennas should be available on that band. If you've already done that and it still isn't working right, I don't know where to go next.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Good test.

It turns out that Yes, I can change antennas now on 50 MHz when I disconnect 
control cables.   Hmmmm.

I reconnect the control cables, and the symptom of not being able to change to 
antennas other than antenna 3 on 50 MHz, returns.

So one conclusion: maybe not the KAT500 settings.
