Hi Chad,
Well Don gave the correct reason, as he always does. The
nomenclature of auto and
manual refers only to the initiation of the tune cycle. Man is in fact
automatic after training.
Maybe a better term would semiautomatic. It in manual will not initiate a tune
cycle but will
automatically use stored values for where you are in the band, after training.
I do not know what is written up in the latest manuals. My KAT
was from the 1st
batch (SN 39) and I have old manuals. However when the new software for the K
line was
introduced Wayne did a write up on it. If you do not have it I can send it to
you as a PDF.
Manual is where you should be and is stated as such.
73,
Bob

I can't make a single QSO (CW or SSB) in AUTO mode without it wanting a
re-tune and taking the KPA500 off-line. I guess I would have been really
disappointed before the improvements were made. The "solution" is a
work-around, not a solution. No where in the manual does it say that for
proper operation, the tuner must be left in MAN mode.
Very disappointing.
