[Elecraft] KPA1500 ATU

[K9MA]

After "training" the ATU across part of the band and, I think, setting 
up the K3 so it should track, I notice some strange behavior.  As I tune 
to a different segment of the band, and stop, there's a delay or a 
second or so before the ATU relays switch. Other times, even though it's 
already been tuned to the new frequency, it doesn't switch until 
transmission starts which, of course, garbles the first character.  Am I 
doing something wrong, or have others notice this behavior?  I assumed 
that once the ATU has been tuned to each band segment, it would switch 
as soon as the K3 was tuned to a new segment (if necessary), so it would 
be ready to go when transmission starts.
