Ed,
Neither the KAT2 nor the KAT100 have provisions for manually selecting
an L-C combination. The ALT position of the KAT2 does allow the
automatic search for a match in a bit more "detail" than the normal
algorithm. I believe the tuning algorithm for the 'normal' KAT100 may
be close to the "ALT" algorithm for the KAT2.
Only the KXAT1 allows you to set L-C combinations manually, and that is
used the reception on the eneral coverage bands, which allows you to
manually tune on frequencies where you cannot transmit.

Like so many auto antenna tuners out there (MFJ, LDG....etc...), many can be put in the
"manual" mode and stepped through different settings.....I'm running the K2 KAT100 tuner
and really like the unit. So, is there a technique I can use to manually "step" through
various L/C setting for those hard to tune antennas - sometimes the KAT!00 can't find a really good
match for my various antennas?
I noticed the K2 KAT2 tuner has an "ALT" mode for this purpose, but I couldn't find
anything mentioned about an "ALT" mode for the KAT100?
