Changing band by CAT does not change to the concerning antenna

Own a Flex 6500 and I have dipols for 80-40-30 and a Yagi for 20-15-10 meters.
If I change bands in SSB or CW, each band conects to the right antenna, but if the band is changed by a digital CAT program that changes frequency, the band changes acordingly but the antenna remains always the last used unchanged and do not follows the band change.
That means that if I am not aware of the last antenna used, I often start transmitting into the wrong one with a very high SWR. Fortunately, Flex 6500 seems not impressed by a couple of seconds of infinite SWR, until I can stop transmission and place the right antenna for that band..
This problem was already present in SmartSDR 1.3.8, but I see it remains unchanged in 1.4

We had an issue on this, #1269, which was fixed in v1.4. The issue was that persistence data was not used on a tune in CAT. Can you tell us what the specific CAT command is that is being sent? I suspect the one we fixed this for is "FA".

Steve:
I have been confirmed by the author of the digital program that the CAT commnad sent to change frequency was FA, so it seems that has not been well "fixed".

I have reopened this defect for additional investigation. Thanks for the report.0
