Larry,
Tune each KAT500 band segment into the antenna of choice - referred to
as "Training the Tuner" with the tuner in AUTO.
After doing that, change the KAT500 to MAN and it will not re-tune - it
will restore the settings for that antenna and frequency.
I suspect you are operating with the KAT500 in AUTO mode, and that will
cause tuning anomalies.
OK, the 'labels' AUTO and MAN may not be what we have previously been
accustomed to, but do the KAT500 'training' exercise, then switch to MAN
and your problem should be resolved.

Good Morning
I have a KAT500 with a vertical on ANT 1 and a Hex on ANT 3.
I go to 20 meters with Auto flashing an put the radio in AM and the KAT500
tunes and finds a good SWR - all is fine. Then I play around with other
frequencies and then come back and for some reason the KAT500 appears to not
remember the tuning parameters and then retunes again for the same frequency
on the same antenna. Why is this?? This happens frequently (i.e.: not
remembering the settings and going into retune).
Also, the SWR meter on the K3 is always blank (i.e.: no bars) while on the
K3 and KPA500 I see the SWR at 1.5??
