Same here.....and i have only used the supplied reference material, use SSB 90% of the time, non resonant antennas as well as a tribander. I "teach" the kat500 when i first set up the run in "manual" mode.
The one time i had sudden "tune" issued the culprit was one leg of the ladder line broke at the antenna. Nuff said from me i guess Gary Vk1ZZ K3, KX3, KPA500-FT, KAT500-FT,P3.
