Not everyone has the KPA500.

+++++The kat500 stores information in what are termed 'Bins' and
communication 
of data via Auxbus recalls memories from these 'Bin' locations and hot 
switching does not occur. 

+++++I can QSY, with the kpa500 in OPER and 'IF' the kat500 needs to tune it 
interrupts the amplifier key line and either selects from memory or does a 
tune if in auto etc. I rarely see a need for a retune once I have set up. I 
do this regularly as I am on the move touring and so I change antennas to 
suit where I am setting up. Wish VK had taller trees in more locations..;-)
