[Elecraft] Best way to check ATU function?

Fri Apr 5 09:53:00 2002

Tim:
The KAT2 remembers its settings.  The first time you tune up it seeks the
best match and then stores the settings on each band.  The only reason it
should return is if you change to an antenna that requires a different
setting.
