Lyn,
I think you are 'getting caught up in the semantics' - let me try a
brief explanation.
Once the tuner knows the proper L/C combination for each frequency bin,
it will switch to those settings in MAN mode. It will NOT try to autotune.
If you
If you have listened to the VARA signal, you know it consists of a series of
tone frequencies sent in sequence. That could very well be driving the KAT500
nuts in AUTO mode. Training and then MANUAL is the solution. GL!

"How does it adjust the matching values without retuning? "
I believe the distinction is between selecting a solution that already exists
in one of the bin's 6 memory locations or deriving a new solution by
executing an autotune sequence.

"Every time you 'teach' a value into the bin (one per antenna port), it
overwrites the previous value(s) so no, you won't run out of memory."
Right, the memory allocation - 6 solutions per bin - doesn't change but these 6
solutions could be for any of the 3 antenna ports. There is not a bin

adjusts the matching values as the frequency changes BUT disables the

I've been using the KPA/KAT500 Combo for a bit over a year, and while there
have been a couple issues with the KPA, the KAT has been fine for all this
time. I operate various digital modes frequently (i.e.: FT8, JS8, Winlink,
etc.) so I often return to the same frequency on each band.
