[Elecraft] KPA500 with K3 in TUNE mode?

[Randy Farmer]

That's just what I'm going to do. With all of the brain power in the K 
line I had just hoped that the system might do it for me. Looks like it 
won't. It just seems to me that if you have a no-tune amplifier, the 
TUNE function must logically be for tuning something other than the amp, 
and whatever that is it probably doesn't need to be done at high power.
