[Elecraft] KAT500 antenna selection

[Lyn Norstad]

Andy –

 

I didn’t say “set the operating frequency.”

 

I said “tuning it.”

"Also keep in mind that tuning it on "off band" frequencies requires that
you
transmit a signal of at least a minimal value ... which is technically not
legal."

 

No that's not true.  The KAT500 can be set to any frequency within its
operating range by sending it the frequency on the serial bus using either
the "F" word or the "FA" word.  See the "KAT500 Serial Command Reference"
for more detail.

 

No transmission is required to set the operating frequency of a KAT500.
