I agree, Andy. The manual should probably clearer about that. Setting it up in
the K3 when no KAT3 is installed is a little weird too, but it works out.
To check this out I used the KAT utility to watch the frequency that the KAT500
was following. You do have to understand that the readout do
Well I must admit I learned something new and I was not correct in
stating the KAT500 followed the RX frequency. I normally never have
the RX and TX more than 1 kHz or less apart and rarely use RIT. Hence,
when I change the RX I'm also changing the TX and the KAT500 follows.
I did confirm
"If setup according to the KAT500 manual (and using the appropriate cables),
the KAT does follow the K3(S) TX frequency."
Thanks Wes, and to Dick for his earlier comments. I'll assume from now on
that anyone saying the KAT500 and KPA500 follow the RX frequency of a K3(S),
when TX freq not equ
If setup according to the KAT500 manual (and using the appropriate cables), the
KAT does follow the K3(S) TX frequency.

K3 and K3S provide the TX frequency on AUXBUS, dealing with split and XIT.

Train the tuner at closer frequency intervals on the band and antenna. I use
25kHz on 160M & 80M across the entire band. Then 50kHz on all other bands.

Yes, I don't like the way the KAT500 follows RIT changes. Sometimes I
cross a stored band slice boundary, the relays click and I know that if I
transmit I'll be using the wrong tuning solution. I reported this as a bug
back in 2014 [1] but I doubt it will ever get fixed.

I think that having the KAT500 follow the K3 RX frequency is a really poor
system design. The tuner, and the tuner's freque
