[Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Operate -> Memorize

See KAT500 Utility help. ATU settings found by tune are stored without pressing the button. If you create an atu setting yourself, using the radio buttons for inductors and capacitors, you can save it with that button. 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Jan 28, 2019, at 20:29, Kevin der Kinderen wrote:
