I use two doublet antennas, one hooked to ANT1 through a balun for 40M
which uses the KAT3 tuner, and a second (ANT2) in which I bypass the KAT3
and use an external Palstar BT1500A balanced tuner for 30-10M. Currently,
when changing bands I have to remember to bypass/set the KAT3 correctly. I

those who don't have this sort of antenna set up. Just a thought.

Steve,
The KAT3 does remember the last tuned settings for each band and each
antenna.
In the case of an external manual tuner, it is easy to set the manual
tuner to the approximate correct settings for each band and then use the
internal tuner refine the final match. No need to use the
Steve:
Consider connecting a dummyload to ANT2, and then tuning the K3 ATU on
EACH BAND to the dummy load. Then, when you are on the Palstar-tuned
antenna, and it is giving 1:1 (supposedly 50 ohms, similar to the
dummyload), the ATU will already be matched to the anticipated 50 ohm
load and
5 matches
