Hi,

is it possible with AS-1289 + RRC 1258MkIIs (TS-480) and actual firmware to configure one antenna for RX and another antenna for TX ?
For example I would like to automatically use my dipole for 40m RX and my Vertical antenna for 40m TX.
If not, is it possible this with a future firmware update?

Thank you!

It's not possible. An antenna switch is not a T/R switch. Using the CAT protocol to ask the radio if it's in transmit or receive mode is far to slow.
