[Elecraft] KPA500-KAT500 tuning settings

[Wes]

Why is it obvious?  Actually, I don't. I have a tri-band Yagi that I also tune 
for 12 and 17.  So each band has a different tuning solution, which has nothing 
to do with a different antenna spigot.  And note I said, "for instance", i.e. 
for example.

K3WYC has pointed out the pitfall of relying on r-f switching.
