[Elecraft] KXAT3 Internal Antenna Tuner Question

[Michael Adams]

Matt --

I'm not even sure I'd call the lack of memory on the KAT3 on those far-out
frequencies a "problem".  For me, at least, it's curiosity and potentially
useful information in the future.

The only time the lack of memory has been inconvenient is when I've joined
SHARES nets in progress (and have to remember to go aside and tune first,
since SHARES tends to be further away from the amateur bands), or when
bouncing around during the Armed Forces Day test.
