[Elecraft] K3/KAT500 ATU Tune Operation

[Dick Dievendorff]

You shouldn't have to touch either tune button in normal operation.  After a tuner "training session", the ATU should follow the frequency of your K3, recalling memories without any button presses at all.  

Additional K3/KAT500 integration along the lines of your suggestion is "on the list", but we first implemented a frequency advisory message that makes manual button presses mostly unnecessary in normal operation.
