[Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Operate -> Memorize

"The tuner will memorize the antenna selection and matching elements every time it tunes." Yes, if the tuning solution is the result of an auto tune, then it is memorized. However if the tuning solution was set manually, then SM; is needed to memorize that solution for the current frequency.

Re: [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:

The tuner will memorize the antenna selection and matching elements every time it tunes. As to the Utility, what ever you change in the Utility will be be sent to the tuner when Memorize is selected.     Not it is not necessary to hit Memorize every time the tuner resolves a match. 73 Bob,
