Jim,
I suspect the issue is that Elecraft simply has not pursued getting the
certification. Possibly the ROI doesn’t justify doing this.
At any rate, there is a procedure for an individual to get a temporary
certification for use while traveling in Japan.

Not sure I follow that logic. But they can certify an FT1000MP, which

Hi Fred
Reading the L and C ATU Values
1. Select LC SEt in the CONFIG menu.
2. Tap MENU to exit.
3. Tap ATU TUNE; VFO A shows the capacitance (CA indicates the capacitance
on the antenna side, Ct on the transmitter side). VFO B shows the inductance.
4. Tap MENU to exit.
Manual
It’s described in the KAT3 menu entry on page 56 of the K3 Owner’s Manual. You
can set L, C, and Cs / Ct, and you can read the values the ATU has currently,
for example right after it has completed tuning.

Hi All -
On the KAT500 - what antenna port is "operational" when the unit is powered
off? Is it the last one selected prior to power off, or does it operate like
the LDG AT-600 where it always reverts to a specific antenna port (in that
model, ANT2) at power off?
