[Elecraft] KAT3 tuning per Antenna

[Don Wilhelm]

Greg,

If one of the outputs is tuned into a 50 ohm resistive load, it is 
effectively bypassed.  I just don't understand the real need for a 
bypass and consider it a 'nicety'.  Like if ANT2 has a resonant 
multiband antenna connected, just tune it once on each band and you are 
ready to go.

Perhaps someone can enlighten me about the utility of a true bypass 
function.
