[Elecraft] Remote KAT500

I'd like to hear from anyone who has remoted a KAT500 out to the base of 
a vertical.  We're moving to an HOA community.  The HOA appears to be 
quite benign and benevolent, I'm planning on a flag pole [with a flag on 
good wx days] in the backyard, with an insulator at the bottom where I'd 
like to remote my KAT500 in a wx-proof box.  I'll probably power it 
through the same conduit that carries the coax.  It would not be 
connected to the K3 of course.

I'd like to run it in MAN mode as I do now.  If I start in AUTO and step 
through all the band segments, will it learn the settings, and just 
recall them as soon as it senses RF?

73,
