Frequency Memories

Tom SQ5CSF
Hi All,
In the K3 Owner's manual I found:

"The K3 has 100 general-purpose memories (00-99),
plus per-band memories (M1-M4 on each band).
Each memory holds VFO A and B frequencies,
modes, filter presets, antenna selection, and other
settings."

Does anyone know what kind of the other setting ?
ATU tune setting for each memory also ?

Regards
Tom SQ5CSF

I wonder if a future version of the K3 Utility could include a ATU
editor? I think it would be useful to save and load ATU settings for
different antenna setups. Or to be able to save your tune settings
occasionally and compare them with current settings.

It might also include some tuning aids to help with manual tuning of
the ATU, perhaps a routine to tune on receiver noise...

  Tom,

It should not be necessary to store ATU tuning in the VFO memories.

The ATU TUNE has its own set of "memory" - it remembers the L/C
combination for any band/frequency segment/antenna that you have
previously done a TUNE.  When the transmit VFO is returned to that
band/frequency segment, the ATU follows with the proper L/C combination.

Of course, if you have physically changed the antenna that is used on
that particular band segment since the last time an ATU TUNE was done,
you will have to tap the ATU TUNE button.
