Is there a K3 macro command to bypass ATU?

I am pretty sure that there is no way to tell the K3 to bypass or enable
the ATU in a macro command except by simulating the button press. Am I
correct?

What I want to do is make my "amplifier on" and "amplifier off" macros
bypass the ATU when the amp is on but enable it when the K3 is directly
connected to the antenna. Right now they just adjust the power output.

The simulated button presses are not a good solution because you can't
tell whether the tuner is off or on.

See the K3 & KX3 Programmers Reference for the MN command -
specifically MN023. You will also need to check the MP command
for the specific states but something like MN023;MP001;MN255;
should enable the KAT3 and MN023;MP000;MN255; should bypass the
KAT3. Note I have not verified the specific MP values.
