[Elecraft] ATU Tune with the KAT500

[NW0M]

Since you have the KAT500 inline and have your K3 internal ATU bypassed, you
should never need to press the ATU TUNE button.  

To send reduced power to the KAT500 for its tuning, press the TUNE button on
the K3.  If you take the time to 'train' your KAT500 by allowing it to store
tuning settings up and down each band, you never have to worry about it
again.  

Ideally, you program the KAT500 to switch antennas automatically and not
have to worry about manually switching.  Not so of course if you use
multiple antennas for the same band.  Since you only connect from one
antenna port on the K3 to the KAT500, I'm not sure how the K3 ANT button
would switch to different antennas on the KAT500.  To me it's actually
easier to change antennas using the KAT500 ANT button.

These are all just my experiences.
