One reason I look forward to seeing the operating manual for the KAT500 is because I have found the Elecraft W2 an extremely accurate way of fine tuning my manual antenna tuner, well beyond what the SWR indicator of the K3 may be indicating, when used with the Palstar AT2k. It is easy to fine tune the K3 when used with the AT2K and have the W2 register just one green light-perfect SWR. The K3 is of course happy with less than this "perfect" SWR match, but when adjusting the manual tuner while putting out about 10 watts with the K3 one can get a perfect match. I look forward to seeing the manual for the KAT500 and seeing what is possible in fine tuning the auto tuner using the manual function of the KAT500. Wiil the KAT500 memory retain the settings made in the manual adjustment for a given frequency? Is manual adjustment of the KAT500 possible with simultaneous power output from the K3? It is not possible to manually adjust the KAT3 in the K3 while applying power. Looking forward to previewing the KAT500 manual. 73 Ron KM4VX
