One thing that you may not understand is that MAN with BYP active is the same electrically as BYP mode).
I use all 3 ANT ports of my KAT500 and never used any KAT mode except MAN. Some of my antennas work fine in MAN/Byp and others require some help with L and/or C. All antenna switching is automatic with a seamless re-configuration as required for any band swap. Each memorized tuning solution (6 possible per frequency bin) includes the Bypass relay configuration (BYPB or BYPN). e.g.: dm; DM BN06;BIN 54;FR 18080-18099;ADDR 42040; AN1;BYPB;VSWRB 1.00; AN1;BYPN;SIDEA;C03;L04;VSWRB 1.23; AN1;BYPN;SIDEA;C04;L04;VSWRB 1.29; AN1;BYPN;SIDEA;C10;L08;VSWRB 5.15; AN3;BYPB;VSWRB 1.00; AN3;BYPN;SIDET;C00;L21;VSWRB 1.00; Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
