Good point. Done!
What I have now is both tuners are ONLY in on the SSB portions of 40/80.
Everywhere else the Palstar is electrically bypassed...but I can't remove it
entirely for reasons stated in my previous posts.

I suggest you set KPA1500 "ATU HISWR RETUNE" to "OFF". The last thing you
want is for the ATU to start tuning when you don't expect it, such as when
you choose the wrong antenna by mistake.
