KAT fw 1.58 auto or manual use ? KAT3 in bypass or in auto ?

ik1bxn
Hello
today I updated all my K Line to production fw but I'm getting crazy with my KAT500.
I was used to keep it in AUTO and as soon as I QSY in case of need KAT performed a new tune (my vertical antenna under rain shows SWR to 2-,2,4) and I forgot tuning.
Now after 1.58 fw installation if I leave KAT in AUTO any time I do a qsy KAT retunes, if I put it into MAN (as written in Wayne document) it properly recalls last tune without retuning.

So, for future shall I have to use my KAT500 in MAN (and in case of huge rain I have to retune) or there's a problem with my KAT500 ? With previous fw I had no problem and I wonder if I'd better to rollback.

Another question I need a clarification possibly :
on my k3 KAT3 is set to KAT500Y but I have KAT3 in bypass since I bought KAT500.
Question : should I keep KAT3 in Bypass or it's better to put it in Auto ?

Many thanks in advance for help
