If yours is anything like mine, she's not reading your mind - she's just
telling you what [she thinks] should be there <G>.

Also, it cannot automatically download the configuration in the KAT500 since that may be corrupt. Basically, it leaves things up to you to know what the best configuration is, and if you want to load one from the computer, you may do that. Note that you can have multiple configurations saved on the computer - you get to select which one you wish to use.
