So apparently there is a way to automatically bypass the tuner on some bands but unfortunately the lighted switch does not indicate this. Many people have monoband beams (or a SteppIR) with a near perfect match on 10-20m and may only need the tuner for a couple of bands. I would also like to have N6WM's feature request. I wonder how the KPA-1500's tuner handles this?
John KK9A Chris Tate - N6WM ctate at ewnetinc.com Sun Jul 30 18:39:54 EDT 2017 Don thanks for this, indeed this is the current solution. Although it is rather obscure as far as indicators on the front panel. I would like to convert this to a feature request, as It would be nice if the firmware supported, and there was another matrix in the KAT500 Utility that would permit a hard bypass with indicator on a per band basis. Gives that warm fuzzy its doing exactly what you want.. E.g. qsy to 20m.. bypass light comes on..
