"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.
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.

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.

Bob,
How exactly does the Memorize button work in the Operate tab of the KAT500
utility. Is it an on/off global or do I have to hit it each time the tuner
tunes a new frequency?
