[Elecraft] KX3 external tuner options

[Chris]

Hello,

I have a KX3 without the internal tuner option.  I have been using it with
T1 tuner successfully, but I want something that I can use as an integrated
tuner.  T1 performs well, but I have to press the button on the tuner, then
I send carrier to tune it.  It works well as is.  Is there a way to
automate the tuning process with the T1, or do I need to install the
internal tuner (a $300 option)?

Any opinion or info would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
