Hi Tim, The frequency counter in the KAT500 should work down below 5W for auto recall of antenna and last tune memory for a frequency. If you teach your KAT500 your antenna set up by tuning it on various frequencies above 10W (>20W is more accurate for best autotuning) it will recall these settings when you run QRP.
