KAT500 tuning help

[RobertG]

I've got the K3, KPA500, and have just installed a factory-built KAT500. Some
glitches/questions about tuning the KAT500. I have found that, using the utility
program, I can manually tune to a much lower indicated SWR than the unit can in AUTO.
Anyone else found this to be so? More importantly, when I do tune to a low SWR on a
band, click on MEMORIZE, shift bands and come back, the values in the utility program
don't return to what I just told the KAT to memorize. In other words, the "system" is
not remembering my manual tuning values when I switch bands. Any comments/guidance
much appreciated.

Hi,

I have also  noticed that manual tuning is not memorized withe the memorize button. I have generally obtained 1.3:1 or less using AUTO so I haven't played with it a lot. I do have some problems at the high end of 15m where the raw SWR is just over 12:1.
