[Elecraft] KAT500 MODE Default?

[Rick Tavan]

How does the KAT500 decide what Mode to set when it powers up (with or without a K3 connected and running) or when it detects a band change? I ask because several times recently mine has come up in Auto mode which I never use intentionally. I would like a way to "lock it" into Manual mode. Yes, I did BTFM (B = Browse) but if it's in there I missed it.

Thanks,
