You can hear it, and it's louder than the KAT3 100W tuner in the K3, but
it's quieter than any other high-powered auto-tuner I've used. I have 3
antennas, all multi-band [but not all the same bands]. I went through
all the segments on all bands, and tuned the appropriate antennas
[KAT500 "remembers" settings on a frequency/antenna basis].
For each band, one antenna is designated "preferred," and if another
will also work on that band, it is secondary. Antennas that don't work
on a particular band are disabled in the tuner. It's really slick and I
don't think I've run an auto-tune cycle in months. Just QSY and hit the
key. Where I have two antennas, I can switch instantly between them
just by tapping the ANT switch.

I've got the LDG AT-600Pro. It does what I need it to do, but it's
awfully loud when it cannot recall a setting from memory. How much
noise does the KAT500 make?
