[Elecraft] K3 KAT3 Antenna Tuner Tutorial

[Bill K9YEQ]

Your feedline impedance changes when wet and the memory will change in the
tuner.  I would expect that is quite normal and a good thing!

Fellows,
I'm not asking you to go off-topic with advice on my feedline. I'm  
asking only about the behavior of the ATU memory system after I've  
retuned a few band segments to wet condx, then condx return to dry.

Thanks
Windy
