[Elecraft] KAT3 Automatic Antenna Tuner

[Robby.VY2SS]

Hi Monty,

That sounds like a lot to remember but you obviously can.  I also have my 6M
antenna on port 2 also but it does not have to be that way. I can monitor 6M
with anther rig.

I have purchased and assembled the Elecraft KRC2 band decoder and use it
with a 10 port remote switch. The switch is not all that remote. It'is here
in the shack but it is a great setup because I never have to worry about
transmitting into the wrong antenna. Most radio manufacturers provide band
data on the back of the rig in some form or other so this can be
accomplished. For me it is a huge benefit. As a matter of fact it works so
well I stopped thinking about antennas a whole lot during a contest. Most of
my antennas do not require a tuner in the CW part of the band where I
usually reside but I use it anyway just so I don't have to worry about what
part of the band I am in. This all good as long as I stay on low power and
don't manually switch in a special antenna such as NVIS or a loop.

I have to think about putting the NVIS antenna on port 2. I need to be able
to transmit on this antenna on more than one band. That will solve a portion
of my problem.
