Forgive me if this has been discussed (and answered) before but I do not find it in the archives. A while back there was a firmware update that would allow the KAT500 to “automatically” select the memorized L/C values as the K3 was tuned across a band. I have the current firmware in both units, but do not see (hear) the KAT500 doing anything as I tune across the band. For example, I just set the K3 at 14.006 and tapped the key paddle. The tuner clicked once and lit up the LED at the 1.2 mark. I then turned the K3’s VFO knob up to 14.080 - not a sound to be heard while tuning. When I got to that frequency, I tapped the key again and heard a short relay click noise and again got the 1.2 LED.

So, my K3 and KAT500 are not doing what I thought the changed firmware was supposed to do. Is this something I need to set in a menu parameter in one or both units? Or, is this still a change residing in a beta version of the firmware?

Thanks, Jim / W6JHB
