Don, I have a related question. A lot of my HF operations are Navy-Marine Corps MARS. All of our allocated frequencies are outside the ham bands, and many are not even close to a band edge. How does the K3 remember ATU settings outside the bands, or does it even have logic to support this? I generally run the ATU when tuning to another MARS frequency far outside the bands.
Yes, I have the KBPF3 gen purpose filter, and everything is working fine outside the ham bands.

After that, all is automatic when you return to that band segment. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/5/2013 6:12 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Fred, > > The KXAT3 does remember the setting on each band segment.
