Yes Igor that's the one I knew could be done.

Expert 1K-FA can eavesdrop on the connection between the PC and K3 and
change setting of Expert's antenna tuner depending on frequency prior to TX.
Microham keyers can also " listen"  to responses of K3 being polled by
logging program. When no polling from logger occurs, Microham starts polling
the radio itself.
I agree with Keith, KAT500 could have been smarter and change setting prior
to TX.
Actually Expert also measures the frequency and compare it with data
received from CAT. Nothing happens if both coincide. If not - measured
frequency has priority. Very clever.
