[Elecraft] KAT500 vs K3 ATU

[Roger Dallimore]

My K3's internal ATU will match 40m to 6m fine using a 66 foot doublet 
but my KAT500 struggles a bit on two bands using the same antenna 
configuration (with fine tuning), it tunes the remaining bands fine.

Currently, the KAT3 is capable of achieving a match on all bands using my open-wire fed 160-meter dipole, with some help from a 4:1 balun.  I believe both tuners are T-matches, but I don't have enough information to judge whether the KAT500 will achieve the same matches that the KAT3 will.
