[Elecraft] KX3 KXAT3 SWR re-tune request threshold

[Pierre]

Hi folks,

For years, I have worked portable with an inverted-vee as a multiband antenna and a ladder line feeder. With the KX1 internal tuner, the T1 or a LDG Z-817, once tuned in a band, I did not have to re-tune as long as I stayed in that band.

However, with the KXAT3 and with the same antenna, the ATU symbol often begins to 'flash' if I change frequency within a band requiring a new tuning even if I tuned on that band. 

So... I wonder if a new menu item could be added in the KX3 offering the possibility  to set the SWR threshold over which there would be no re-tune request by the KXAT3? That threshold could be adjustable offering 3 choices like 1.5:1 and 2:2 or also even to 3:1 for example. I can cope easily with a 3:1 SWR, the loss is not so great...

Meanwhile, thanks again for that wonderful rig.
