KAT500 MODE Default?

[Rick Tavan-2]

How does the KAT500 decide what Mode to set when it powers up (with or without a K3 connected and running) or when it detects a band change? I ask because several times recently mine has come up in Auto mode which I never use intentionally. I would like a way to "lock it" into Manual mode. Yes, I did BTFM (B = Browse) but if it's in there I missed it.

Thanks,

Funny thing: I never turn my KAT500 off. I've
heard funny things can happen if you turn on the
K3 first and then the KAT500.

BTW -- very good reference to buy is Fred Cady's
"THE ELECRAFT KPA500 AMPLIFIER AND KAT500 TUNER".
I have it in pdf form so I can search for it (and
copy the title for this email, which is why it's
all caps!).
