Why is it obvious?  Actually, I don't. I have a tri-band Yagi that I also tune for 12 and 17.  So each band has a different tuning solution, which has nothing to do with a different antenna spigot.  And note I said, "for instance", i.e. for example.

K3WYC has pointed out the pitfall of relying on r-f switching.

So you obviously have a different antenna on 10m than you do on 20m. Do you have different antennas on every band?  You can only connect a maximum of three antennas to a KAT500.

I use a Top Ten band decoder to automatically switch an external coax relay box, no TX is necessary.

But back to the issue at hand.  If I'm tuned up and working on 20-meters but
want to quickly listen to 10-meters for instance, why should I have to transmit
on 10 just to switch antennas?
