You can hear it, and it's louder than the KAT3 100W tuner in the K3, but it's quieter than any other high-powered auto-tuner I've used. I have 3 antennas, all multi-band [but not all the same bands]. I went through all the segments on all bands, and tuned the appropriate antennas [KAT500 "remembers" settings on a frequency/antenna basis]. For each band, one antenna is designated "preferred," and if another will also work on that band, it is secondary. Antennas that don't work on a particular band are disabled in the tuner. It's really slick and I don't think I've run an auto-tune cycle in months. Just QSY and hit the key. Where I have two antennas, I can switch instantly between them just by tapping the ANT switch. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2013 Cal QSO Party 5-6 Oct 2013 - www.cqp.org On 5/24/2013 3:04 AM, Jon Hellan wrote: > I've got the LDG AT-600Pro.
