[Elecraft] KAT-500 Antenna Tuner question

[Don Wilhelm]

Mot an answer, but just a reminder.  Elecraft does not use dashes in 
their product designations (the only exceptions are the N-Gen and the 
2T-Gen mini kits).

Yes, we understand when one writes KAT-500, but the real designation is 
KAT500 (no dash).
Leave the 'dash designation' to the other manufacturers.  Often that is 
used to designate an upgrade to an existing product.  With Elecraft 
gear, the equipment can be upgraded with firmware changes and mod kits 
to the latest level, hence no "dash designations' are required.  For 
instance, there will not be a KAT501 from Elecraft unless the policy 
changes drastically.

As another example, the K3 is not an upgrade for the K2 - it is an 
entirely different product design.

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.
