[Elecraft] KAT500 memories

[Harlan Sherriff]

Thanks all. I did notice the chart in the manual but wasn’t sure if the memory could hold all of that for all bands/antenna. I’m working on a program to automate this process (with manual transmit so as not to disturb ongoing QSO’s), and didn’t want to set up more than the memory would allow.
