[Elecraft] KX3 KXAT3 SWR re-tune request threshold

[Don Wilhelm]

Pierre,

Wayne has responded on the KX3 Yahoo group that the band segments are 20 
kHz wide, so if you start at the bottom of the band (well - 10 kHz 
inside) and do an ATU TUNE, then move up 20 kHz and do another ATU TUNE 
- continue until you get to the top of the band of interest - the KXAT3 
will remember the settings for all those band segments and you will not 
have to touch the ATU TUNE again until you change the antenna being used 
for that particular band.

When working in the field, I do this as part of my initial setup and 
there is no further concerns about tuning.  At home I set the tuner to 
bypass because I have resonant antennas for each band - no tuner required.

73,
