[Elecraft] KXAT3 Internal Antenna Tuner Question

[WM3M]

Not sure I completely follow this since I think the KXAT3 is the tuner for 
the KX3, but questions seem to apply to K3.
I have both K3 and KX3 and use both on MARS freqs.  The KXAT3 in the KX3 
does remember the settings for all the MARS freqs I use.
I do not have the internal tuner for the K3 but do have the KAT500, it also 
remembers the settings for all my MARS freqs.  The K3 will not transmit 
close to its IF freq, so I normally the KX3 for those.
Hope this helps?

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.
