Steve:
Consider connecting a dummyload to ANT2, and then tuning the K3 ATU on
EACH BAND to the dummy load. Then, when you are on the Palstar-tuned
antenna, and it is giving 1:1 (supposedly 50 ohms, similar to the
dummyload), the ATU will already be matched to the anticipated 50 ohm
load and won't require 'tuning', but also won't require BYPassing
either.

I use two doublet antennas, one hooked to ANT1 through a balun for 40M
which uses the KAT3 tuner, and a second (ANT2) in which I bypass the KAT3
and use an external Palstar BT1500A balanced tuner for 30-10M. Currently,
when changing bands I have to remember to bypass/set the KAT3 correctly. I
would like to see the KAT3 bypass/auto setting saved per band as is
commonly done on other rigs, such as the IC756.
