Re: [Elecraft] K3 ATU question
Hi Ian, Yes. "The ATU settings are kept for each band and for each antenna. Each band has multiple segments as shown in Table 6 3 and the ATU will pick the tuning setting for that segment as you tune across the band. This means that the ATU will keep narrowband antennas in tune as you move around in the band. Each time you transmit the microcontroller will see if you have moved the VFO to another band segment and will automatically chose that setting for the L and C in the ATU. You can erase the stored L and C values for any band by tapping CLR when in the CONFIG:KAT3 menu." Your owner's manual also describes this on page 22 also.

[Elecraft] K3 ATU question
Hi, Just a quicky, probably been answered but cant find it.. Does the KAT3 have separate settings memory for each antenna input? Im just about to go mobile and wondered if I used the other antenna input I wouldn't mess up all my home antenna settings. -- *Iain Haywood* G4SGX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Try cycling power after making the config menu selection.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 ATU Question
Try going into the CONFIG: menu and locate with the VFO B knob, KAT3. Rotate the VFO A kjnob until the display says installed. Now close the CONFIG menu and turn OFF the K3. Turn the K3 back on, and you should have ATU function. This is covered in the MANUAL in detail. Remember, however, you MUST cycle the K3 power to make it appear. ...bc nr4c Quoting Bill K9YEQ : > If you press and hold the tune button it will cycle on and off.
