KAT500 Utility Question?

Elecraft mailing list
 I've managed to get my KAT500 working again. I am trying to set up the following from within the KAT500 utility:
Antenna 1 for bands 6-40 meters (Steppir DB36)
Antenna 2 for bands 8-/160 (Dipole antenna)
Antenna 3 is not used.
Can someone guide me to how this can be established from the utility?
Thanks in advance,
Paul [hidden email]

Hi, Paul!

It's on the Configuration tab of the KAT500 Utility.
Choose "Edit Configuration", "Antennas".  
You want different antenna choices for individual bands, so choose each band
in turn, and check the appropriate "Enabled" check boxes.  

The "preferred" antenna is the one you want selected when you change to that
band from another.  For example, you might want your dipole enabled on
40-10, but not often use it. You could enable the dipole (ant2 for you) on
some of the HF bands, but choose "ANT1" as the preferred antenna for 40-6.
Then you could listen on the dipole with a switch press, but if you switch
away from that band and return, you'd start out with the DB36 each time.

This is described in KAT500 Utility Help, Choose "configuration" or "antenna
enable" from the Index.
