All the frequencies lie in the same bin and there will be some, perhaps a lot of, variation in match as the frequency changes. I would first run an autotune at the mid point of all the frequencies. I would then use MAN mode to prevent auto tune on frequency change within the same bin.

"Is there a Command that would help to alleviate this behavior? Or a way to tell the KAT500 to ignore one or more of its preset frequencies that are causing issues?" How are you telling your KAT500 what frequency to use. CAT, Counter, or both? Is you KAT500 in MAN or AUTO mode? If you are

On 80 meters, the KAT500 stores frequencies in memory every 10 kHz. Because of bandwidth issues, normally that's a good thing. Except when it isn't. Many digital modes that use prescribed frequencies are clustered in a fairly narrow region. For example ("dial frequency" in kHz): FT8 =
