When SWR is less than 1.3 (factory default), the KAT-500 should go into “BYPASS” as I understand.

The LC values and MODE (Manual) from the previously selected antenna are still shown in the config utility “Operate TAB”.

Also, the STANDBY LED has never illuminated when the SWR measurement is less than the threshold set for entering the BYPASS mode.

Firmware installed

    K3:  5.38
    KAT-500: 1.67
