[Elecraft] Tuning the KAT500 and Setting Memories Automatically By Program Control

[Bob]

Hi Phil,

            Sounds like a great idea!   However each step should have a manual 
activation.  Would not want it tuning over other activity and just moving to 
next point.  I guess if it kept track of filled "bins" you could run thru it a 
few times to load the incomplete band bins..

Then, the program, interacting with the K3 and the KAT500 would automatically step through each band using a frequency interval parameter (enterable by user on per band basis) to automatically recreate tuned LC memory values.
