Re: [Elecraft] KX3: can the ATU be read out?
Rick, I hope to add this to the KX3 at some point. It would be useful in further peaking up broadcast-band stations. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jun 19, 2012, at 2:21 PM, Rick Tavan N6XI wrote: > The KX3 doesn't seem to replicate the KAT3=LC SET feature of the K3. > Maybe > in the future? > > /Rick N6XI > > On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 11:31 AM, Pierfrancesco Caci > wrote: > >>> "Holger" == Holger Schurig >>> writes: >> >> >> Holger> Now, wouldn't it be nice if I could get back the L / C >> Holger> setting choosen >> Holger> by KXAT3 somehow?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: can the ATU be read out?
The KX3 doesn't seem to replicate the KAT3=LC SET feature of the K3. Maybe in the future? /Rick N6XI On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 11:31 AM, Pierfrancesco Caci wrote: > > "Holger" == Holger Schurig writes: > > >Holger> Now, wouldn't it be nice if I could get back the L / C >Holger> setting choosen >Holger> by KXAT3 somehow?

On the K3 you sort of can do that. With KAT3=AUTO, do your tuning. Then change KAT3=LC SET, exit from config, press ATU TUNE and it will show L and C. Maybe the KX3 can do that as well?
