This is correct.
However the KAT500 will also work with other radios and amps, so we provide a
couple of ways for amp interrupt. With K3 band lines we can bandswitch on

Does that mean that the KAT500 can automatically retune (based on

That'd be rather cool. If yes, can it also be told that some bands

bands?
