[Elecraft] KXAT3 Internal Antenna Tuner Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Matt,

I really don't have a definitive answer, but I would think it would 
behave similarly.
Wayne may have a better answer or at least a pointer.

I do know you can manually set the ATU inductance and capacitance which 
works in places where you cannot transmit, but I don't know about 
automatic.
Of course, if TUNE works, then it works (it should), but I don't know 
about the memories.

How does the K3 remember ATU settings outside the bands, or does it even have logic to support this?  I generally run the ATU when tuning to another MARS frequency far outside the bands.
