K3 tuner: how does it actually function?

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

1.  Does the tuner "sense" when there is a mismatch and automatically kick in?

2.  Can one establish more than one "tuned" position per band (say
1810, 1830, 1860, 1900) which is somehow memorized and when you get
close to that QRG, the tuner automatically adjusts?

3.  If yes, how many slots per band?  Or...how many total tuner
position memories?

I've checked the FAQ, but do not see this addressed (but I could have
missed it).

tnx...

No, the operator initiates a tune cycle.

Not yet, but it is "on the list".

Minimum of four per mode would be my thought.

At least 50 "memories" per antenna (five points per band but
more on 160/80 and fewer on 30/17/12).  The tuner should also
interpolate (or extrapolate) if necessary using the two closest
memories within a band.

Four per mode PER BAND?  Not just 4 per mode, right?

Yeah .... you knew what I meant!

Minimum of four per mode per band would be my thought.
