I am one of the people who requested that the ATU active / bypass settings could be stored along with ANT 1 / 2. The reason was that the antenna I don't want the ATU in circuit for is externally tuned. I still need to put out a tuning signal, and I guess that having the ATU in circuit might confuse the SWR readings when I am tuning. At the back of my mind I was probably also thinking that the KAT would auto-retune in the presence of a high SWR, like the external SGC tuners do.
Even though there is a workaround of tuning the ATU into 50 ohms, I would still like to have the ATU in / out settings stored. The reason is that I have to remember which of two TUNE buttons to press depending on which antenna I am using. If I am using the externally tuned antenna and the ATU is active and I press ATU TUNE instead of TUNE by mistake, the KAT will try to match the antenna, and my previous adjustment of it into 50 ohms will be lost. If the ATU is automatically bypassed when I select the antenna that doesn't need it, nothing happens if I press the button in error. And believe me, I often press things in error. ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Antenna-1-2-Operation-tp17208306p17217979.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
