Is there a way of tuning the any of the Elecraft tuners outside the legal transmission bands? I can imagine hooking an antenna analyzer through the tuner and using the analyzer to know which C, L, and Relay values are the best match. But I don't think any of the Elecraft turners have a UI to set those values when running the experiment.

The KAT500 memories cover the range 1500 KHz to 60.0 MHz, no gaps, in a series of "bins".  Each bin holds capacitor and inductor values, relay settings, antenna connector selection, and a couple of other values.  Each bin covers a bandwidth that is a function of frequency.  The lower bands are narrow and the BW of a bin increases as you go up in frequency.

For 80 meters, the bins are 20 KHz wide, and there are 90 of them from 3001 KHz to 4800 KHz.  Most of the higher frequency bands [40 thru 15] have 50 KHz bins. 12 and 10 are 100 KHz, and I believe 6 is 200 KHz.  So, to "train" your KAT500:
