That would be very slick, the tuner and amp would be ready to go after a
frequency change.

At present the KAT500 gets only band number, not VFO frequency, from the K3.
We're looking at possible firmware changes that would give the KAT500 VFO info
or otherwise prepare it better for the next transmission at the new in-band
frequency. Details later.

With the 15-pin network (I like it!), the KAT500 knows the band and selects the
last used antenna and L-C for that band. It doesn't know the frequency until
you transmit when it can select the ant and L-C from the segment memory (which
could be different than the last used on the band, if you were on the bottom of
the band and come back on and transmit on the top of the band).

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3/KPA500/KAT500 SWR Problem
My K-line is all connected via the "Elecraft 15-pin Network." If I remember
correctly, it's:
computer-->P3-->K3-->KAT500-->KPA500
or something like that. I was under the impression that the KAT500 already
knows what frequency I'm about to transmit on and is ready for me, even before
it senses RF?

Hi Fred et al, I think CW operators have not had the same level of
problems as SSB operators, unless they are using high speed CW. The
tuner seems to get all the information it needs in about a dits worth
of RF. But I think it has to be pretty constant RF and the varying
SSB waveform may be causing the problem. I think training (using a
steady CW carrier) and then operating in MAN mode is the key, given
there aren't other things going on such as RF that others have
suggested.
