IMO, the really critical thing to do is to follow the table in the
manual and "train" the ATU at the recommended intervals on each band.
Once you have done this it effectively becomes a 1500-watt transceiver
(unless, of course, you have more than two antennas per band).

What I do is leave the ATU function ON for all bands. If my 6 meter SWR
is “really good”, the ATU tune operation (done once in a “training
session”) discovers this and selects ATU bypassed as the preferred ATU
setting. Both ATU LEDs are illuminated, indicating that the ATU function is
enabled, but the current ATU a setting is bypassed.
Some of my HF antennas have good SWR at one end of the band but need more
ATU assistance at other frequencies. I don’t turn the ATU on and off, my
ATU relay settings are “bypassed” on some frequencies.
You can choose the “really good” SWR threshold, by band, in a menu or the
KPA1500 Utility. I think it defaults to 1.2 to 1.

hello
How can I use the KPA1500 to remember what bands need ATU IN and what
bands
need ATU BYP?
I have ATU IN on HF bands, but when I change to 6 mts I need that KPA1500
change to ATU BYP
Is this possible?
thanks!
