KPA500-KAT500 tuning settings

[Bob McGraw]

If one uses the correct cable between the K3 and the KAT500 and the
KPA500 one does not have to transmit a dit to switch bands. Plus why
would one want to transmit un-necessarily when just changing bands?  
Makes no sense to me.

So you obviously have a different antenna on 10m than you do on 20m.
Do you have different antennas on every band?  You can only connect a
maximum of three antennas to a KAT500.

I use a Top Ten band decoder to automatically switch an external coax
relay box, no TX is necessary.

But back to the issue at hand.  If I'm tuned up and working on 20-meters but
want to quickly listen to 10-meters for instance, why should I have to
transmit
on 10 just to switch antennas?
