K3 KAT3 Operation Manual ? ? ?

[ANTNEE N3ANT]

Hello All,

I'm having a little trouble finding the KAT3 Operation Manual ? The KAT3 100-WATT
AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS reads "The KAT3 option is an internally-mounted 100-watt automatic antenna tuner. Complete details for using the
KAT3 are included in the KXV3 Owner’s manual. This manual covers the installation of the KAT3 option in your K3 transceiver." I have looked In the KXV3 manual and found nothing ? I want to learn how to adjust the L and C so I can tune my 80 meter dipole. I can only get a 1.8.1 after hitting the ATU TUNE twice,also any other things that the tuner can do ?

Maybe I have overlooked some thing ?

By the way.....I LOVE MY P3 ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Thanks, 73 Anthony N3ANT

KAT3 ATU mode; normally set to BYP or AUTO (outside the menu, ATU
alternates between the two). Modes L1-L8, C1-C8, and Ct are used to test
KAT3 relays. Mode LCSET allows manual adjustment of L/C/net settings (you
must exit the menu first). When in LCSET mode, tapping ATU TUNE shows the
L and C values; C is changed with VFO A, L is changed with VFO B, and ANT
toggles between Ca and Ct .
Tapping CLR within this menu entry clears stored LC data for the present band.

Thank you so much for the reply....That's allot more Info that I had ! ! ! !

  You can find a LOT of information about the K3 (including its options)
by reading the section of the manual which explains each menu entry.  I
highly recommend each user begin there immediately after after
familiarizing himself with the front and rear panel.

Not only will it tell you how to do many things, but you will gain a
better sense of how to configure the K3 to suit you and your operating
preferences.

 From many questions I see here on the reflector, many do not even look
at that most important section of the manual.
If you fail to understand any of those menu items, please do ask here
about it, and you will receive a helpful answer, and you are more likely
to understand that answer too - there are many side benefits.
