You can tune the ATU manually on received signals or noise but I'm pretty sure the settings will not be remembered if you subsequently hit auto tune in an adjacent ham band. Actually, there are no separate SWBC "bands" in the K3 scheme: these are just extended sections of the ham bands (the 31m SWBC band is part of 30m; 19m is part of 20m, etc.).
Basically, it is probably not worth the effort. SWBC reception is about as good as you will ever need without having to match the antenna. 73, Drew AF2Z On Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:45:10 -0800 (PST), you wrote: >I'm thinking of purchasing the K3 with internal tuner and the general >coverage front end, my question is will the tuner tune on receive outside of >the ham bands.
