My KAT3 works fine on the ham bands. And tuning the KAT3's L-network manually
should be no problem using the general L/C SET instructions contained
(Manual page-55)  in the CONFIG menu, for selecting among the many L/C
variables. No problem.  As readers are aware, the KAT3's auto tune function
is non functional (without a transmit signal) on non-ham bands, so tuning
the KAT3 must be done manually when receiving outside the ham bands.  It'd
be nice to use the KAT3 memory feature on the shortwave, AM and other
non-ham bands, and hopefully there's an easy way to find the L/C settings
for these bands and then save them to memory, so that manual L/C tuning
would not be necessary when jumping between shortwave or AM broadcast bands. 
Before venturing down this road, it'd be great to know how others have set
up the out-of-band KAT3 memories.  Thanks.
