[Elecraft] KXAT3 question

[Don Wilhelm]

Joshua,

If you have previously "trained" your antenna tuner to that particular 
antenna on that new band segment, then there is no need to do an ATU 
TUNE - the tuner will automatically pick the proper L/C components for 
that band segment.  That is what is "automatic" about the Elecraft 
tuners.  Tune it once on that band segment and it will automatically 
select that tuning combination for the new frequency.

73,
