[Elecraft] KAT500

[Fred Smith]

I'm using a Palstar AT-Auto with my K3/100 and Alpha amp it works very well
also and shows all the values. I bought it to use till my Alpha 4040 tuner
is delivered in Oct.The Palstar works very quickly using only RF sensing
coax hookup and when switching antennas (3) it find a solution very quickly
usually a matter of several seconds when returning it remembers and it's
dead on.

Umm...
I want one of these but I have an MFJ998 which works well. One thing I like
is seeing the values that it selects for the L network. It seems to have an
almost reliable memory and tunes in a few seconds without a lot of clatter.
Probably the best MFJ item I have ever bought. OT, don't ask me about the 75
amp "clean" switching power supply that put birdies all up and down 75
meters. I enacted the no-questions-asked return policy on that.
I'll get the KAT500...any chance that it's possible to observe the tuner
values on VFO B on the K3...or the VGA display etc? That would be so nice.
I'm not asking if it's in the works, just if it can be done in future
programming by Elecraft. Any ideas?
