[Elecraft] KAT500

[Don Wilhelm]

Larry,

Tune each KAT500 band segment into the antenna of choice - referred to 
as "Training the Tuner" with the tuner in AUTO.
After doing that, change the KAT500 to MAN and it will not re-tune - it 
will restore the settings for that antenna and frequency.

I suspect you are operating with the KAT500 in AUTO mode, and that will 
cause tuning anomalies.
OK, the 'labels' AUTO and MAN may not be what we have previously been 
accustomed to, but do the KAT500 'training' exercise, then switch to MAN 
and your problem should be resolved.

73,
Don W3FPR
