[Elecraft] K3S with Internal ATU(KAT3A) and Remote ATU?

[Brian Hunt]

I have a K3 without the internal ATU and use a MFJ-927 remote tuner for my ZS6BKW inverted V. I also have a manual tuner in the shack which is usually in bypass, just monitoring power out and incoming SWR. There some parts of 40m where the MFJ-927 doesn't get a good match and I touch it up with the manual tuner to keep the K3 happy. I don't see why you couldn't take a similar approach with the KAT3A. 

The MFJ-927 is a finicky beast but it has served me well for over 4 years. I don't think it uses latching relays so you have to keep it powered to use it. I could be wrong. GL!
