The guys who think you can't work DX without a second receiver will get a kick
out of this, but I don't have one and sometimes resort to using the "REV" button
to listen on my split TX frequency. Normally, the SDR-IQ panadapter is all I
need for this. On bands like 160 where the bins are narrow the relays will
sometimes click as the radio now believes that I will transmit on the DX station
QRG in a different bin.

Ummm ... sorry about that ... you're correct. I operate split so rarely that
turning "The Big Knob" takes them together in my mind. Also, I misread the
notes in my station notebook regarding the bin widths, Ron's description is
correct, mine was a little wrong.
Regarding using MAN mode when operating normally ... it depends on the
operating mode to some extent. The KAT measures the forward and reflected
power sequentially so it is possible for the fwd measurement to me made at a
power minimum [like in SSB] and the reflected to be made at a higher output
power. This will be computed as a higher SWR and might trigger an autotune.
Shouldn't be a problem on digital modes like PSK31, the JT's, and FT8.

A slight correction. The tuner follows the transmit frequency, as it should.

[good stuff snipped]
If the KAT500 is connected to the ACC connector of the K3, it will follow
your receive frequency and select the correct tuning memory as you QSY.
Hope this helps,
