Erik, I think your question has been answered, several times ... as I
said once, and will tell you once more, my KAT put 25 W into the antenna
connector when it had finished tuning. While it was tuning, the power
varied. Note: 25 W in with it tuned yielded 25 W out [less losses my
power measuring equipment could not discern].
The memory segments vary by band. They're in my station notebook which
I'm not going to dig out now, but they increase in BW from 160 [10 KHz,
maybe 20] to 100 KHz at 10 meters. 6 may be 200 KHz. Once tuned in the
center of each segment, I left my KAT500 in MAN and it never retuned of
course. Many factors would affect my antennas and when the SWR climbed
between summer and winter, I just let it retune.
I have no idea what's in an AH-4 or if it actually does what you say. I
do know what my KAT500 did.

I know the training process, have done it many times on all my tuners, the KX3
and KX2 built-in, KXPA100, also an MFJ-993B and KAT500. And no, I currently do
not have the K3 and the cables to transmit band switching. But even after
training I find that all of these will occasionally perform a full tuning cycle
even when close to a programmed frequency.
So of course given that my antenna is stable I *shouldn’t* need to do a full
tune yet there it is. The tuner behavior is out of my control if it decides to
perform a full cycle when I press the tune button after a band or range switch.
My point is that the AH-4 specs say:
- 0.3 W RADIATED POWER
- Radiated power during tuning is less than 0.3 W, minimizing interference
to other stations.
I’m just asking if the KAT500 has similar capabilities.
