Automatically, I don't think so.  You have to feed the KAT3 [and all 
autotuners] power to get them to tune and the K3 won't transmit outside 
the ham bands.  I think you can go in and fiddle with the L/C manually, 
I don't know how, never done it.  The gen coverage filter set works 
really well way outside of the ham bands.
