[Elecraft] Question about T1

[paul.wilton at tesco.net]

How well does the T1 auto tuner remember frequencies within a band?  I am looking at making a vertical for 80m that will have a relatively small bandwidth (say 30-40kHz).  Therefore, I am wondering whether I could put a T1 auto tuner at the base of the vertical with a remote tune switch.  I'll be using my K2 so currently no option for using the band data.

Does the T1 remember individual frequencies within a band and also measure the incoming frequency to speed up the retune or will it have to start from scratch everytime?

One thought to "automate" the process would be to have a external SWR circuit between my K2 and the T1 to toggle the remote tune switch every time it goes over a limit such as 2.0:1
