Multiple Antennas Same Band AG 8X2

in Antenna Genius

For example, I have 2 antennas for 40M. How do I use a specific antenna without manually selecting it? Let's say I am working a local station using one antenna and then I want switch to the other antenna for DX.

The AG User Guide states:

"When there is more than one antenna available for a particular band, AG will return to the last antenna used for that band when that band is selected."

Can someone clarify this?

    This is correct, if you have assigned 2 antennas to a band in the AG utility, when you move to that band e.g. 40m you should see 2 buttons, the previously used one will be selected as default and if you want to change it, you just click the other antenna.

    Thanks Rich. I suppose that makes sense.

    Although the extra tuner memories may be useful (there are additional tuner memories, right?), don't see any advantage to the manual switch I'm currently using.
