[Elecraft] KAT-500 Antenna Tuner question

[rlvz at aol.com]

Hi Guys,


I'm using a KAT-500 and am surprised that when I change bands it doesn't remember whether it was in Automatic or By-Pass the last time it was on that band.  If my KAT-500 is set to "Automatic" on one band then it's on Automatic for every band change.  I'm hoping someone knows of a way to activate a memory feature on the KAT-500 so that each band can have it's own setting: Auto-Man-Byp.


My reason for the "memory" is to eliminate unneeded relay tuning and chatter... as on some bands I simply don't need the KAT-500 and I don't appreciate it trying to tune every antenna that it thinks needs tuning.  (as sometimes antennas  don't need to be tuned... but the KAT-500 thinks otherwise)


Thanks!
