[Elecraft] KXAT3 Internal Antenna Tuner Question

[Michael Adams]

Matt --

That's something that I've wondered myself, for similar reasons.

I have noticed that the MARS frequencies closest to the amateur bands (e.g.
low 4MHz) are remembered by the KAT3, while those further outside (e.g.
high 4MHz) are not.

At this point, I know by experience which of the frequencies I regularly
use do/don't need to tuned up.   But for those times when I might need to
use other frequencies.... it could be handy information to have.
