[Elecraft] K3 Antenna 1/2 Operation

[Craig D. Smith]

This is a question and perhaps a request about the operation of the antenna
1/2 selection in conjunction with the KAT3 internal K3 antenna tuner.  

In my normal contest setup here I use two antennas on the same band.  One is
resonant so I don't need the ATU.  The other is a multi-band doublet that I
use the KAT3 to tune.  The beauty of this is that I can quickly switch from
one to the other with the K3 front panel ANT switch to select the one with
the stronger signal.  The problem is that the state of the ATU (bypass or
engaged) has to be reset each time I switch antennas.  This is an extra step
and one that can easily be forgotten in a contest situation.  Am I
overlooking something here?  That is, is there a way to set up the K3 so
that it remembers if the ATU is engaged or bypassed on a given antenna?
This would be a MUCH preferred mode of operation.  It has been awhile since
I've had my K2, but my recollection (which may be wrong) is that the K2 did
provide exactly this desired operation.  

Question:  Can I set up the K3 to do this?    

If not, Request:  Can this be provided in a future firmware update?


        Thanks and 73
