K3s/KAT500

As I now understand Frequency Tracking, it works like this:

1. Once the KAT500 is "trained," the frequency segments attributed to each band 
are places where the KAT500 will look for good SWR matches. In other words, if 
I happen to have the VFO set on a frequency that is in Segment 5 (my label, 
just for clarity), the tuner will for for good matches in Segment 5 — correct? 

2. If no good matches are found in Segment 5, the KAT500 will do a Full Tune to 
create one — correct?

3. It seems to me that "Training the Tuner" is truly a convenience exercise: 
populating segments in the band so the tuner will find a good match and not 
have to do a Full Tune — correct?

4. Rather than setting just low, middle, and high tuning solutions on 20 meter 
SSB, for example, I set a solution in each of the 11 segments, thinking that no 
matter where I tune in 20 meter SSB, the KAT500 will find a good solution. — 
correct?

Have I got this right . . . finally?
