Hi again,

But there are bugs. Here is the first one I can reproduce 100%.

The setup is K3 and KAT500 only The aux cable is *not* connected and the the
utility is *not* running although the serial cable is connected. This is all
to keep things simple.

Steps to reproduce:
Select KAT500 mode to bypass and antenna to 3 (which in my case is my dummy
load).
Turn tuner off with a HOLD to the mode button.
Turn tuner back on. It comes back on antenna 1 which doesn't seem quite
right, but is no big deal.
Change the antenna back to 3.
Switch band on the K3.
Hold XMIT on the K3 to generate a tuning carrier (mine is now 20W as
recommended for the KAT500).
The tuner switches to antenna 1. This is 100% repeatable. This is bad.

AB2TC - Knut
