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

[ANDY DURBIN]

"It does not make any difference whether he is using RF sensing or not."


Don,


Since I have trained my KAT500, I had assumed the OP had done that as well.  I was thinking that the problem was that the SSB phone transmission was not causing the KAT500 to switch to the memorized tuning solution.  I can see now that I had misunderstood the problem.


I never use my KAT500 in any mode except MANUAL.  AUTO takes control away from me and, in BYPASS mode, memorized antenna selections do not work correctly.


In my station my KAT500 and my SteppIR follow the transmit frequency of my TS-590.   This avoids any re-configuration at start of TX for cases where TX and RX frequencies are not equal.
