I currently have two HF antennae. One is an NVIS loop for MARS and the other is a 4 Element Yagi-Uda 5 bander 20m through 10m.
On the KPA500 I have those two antennae connected as follows: NVIS Loop; connected to antenna port one, which also allows me to work 3.52 and 3.8MC. Yagi-Uda: connected to antenna port two. When I move to a frequency that is tuned on the loop the tuner switches to antenna one before it tunes. Switching to a frequency covered by antenna two causes the KPA500 to switch to antenna two before it tunes. Once the tuner has been tuned once to the frequencies you use on any band it returns to the setting it has memorized for that frequency, including the output connector that you used when tuning the first time. 73, Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member On Sun, 4 Nov 2012 11:57:55 -0800 (PST), rich kennedy <[email protected]> wrote: >Hello, I currently have a K3 & KPA500, and, shortly I hope, a KAT500.
