K3 driving a screwdriver antenna

Fred Townsend
This has probably been asked before, if so, can someone point me to the
achieve. Is there a remote tune feature for a screwdriver antenna? Can I use
the ATU as a second tuner with the screwdriver?

No remote tuning, but you can take the ATU out of line (turn it off), press tune
button on the K3  and then move the antenna length up and down with the
antenna's remote control until you get a 1 to 1 match.
