[Elecraft] KAT-500 auto-tuning issue with SSB vs. CW

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

There are SWR parameters that can be changed in the KAT500 Utility.  I 
suggest you install this on your computer, connect the KAT500 and 
initiate the application.

I have trained my KAT500 to use certain antennas on certain bands and 
for the lower frequencies, I have forced a tune ever 25 kHz. Then as I 
tune the VFO the values in the tuner change based on previous 
determinations.   This includes changing antennas based on band.  As to 
the difference in SSB and CW, I don't find any. Also, after doing the 
training, I normally operate the KAT500 in the MANual mode.

Also in the K3S manual, see KAT3 topic, page 60, for information on 
establishing VFO tracking with the KAT500.  When VFO tracking is 
enabled, the KAT500's L network will be continuously updated as the VFO 
is tuned.
