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

[Don Wilhelm]

The KAT500, will do the same for any transceiver - except for following 
the receive frequency.
After training the tuner, when the KAT500 receives a burst of RF, it 
will tune to the remembered L/C combination for the frequency received, 
it will go immediately to that combination.
Train in AUTO mode, then switch to MAN for reliable operation.
