FTDX-101 CAT Antenna Select

Anyone been successful getting VarAC to switch antennas when using the Enable Antenna Selector feature using the FTDX-101? I have been plagued with this for months. When I switch to 30m, I want the rig to switch to Ant3, my 30m antenna. I copied the applicable command for all bands into the FTdx101 section of the VarAC_cat_commands.ini file:

example: AntennaBand_30m=AN03

I have tried both AN1 and AN01. With these in the latest cat file that I downloaded today, the Enable Antenna Selector checkbox is no longer greyed out and I have checked it. However, the radio is still not switching to any antennas when changing frequency. Antenna one is there for all bands.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Many thanks to Lutz DH7LK for solving this problem. There must be a semicolon at the end of EACH ONE of the AntennaBand lines. It is now working fine on both the FTDX-3000 and the FTDX-101MP. de ND1J
