Hi folks,
For years, I have worked portable with an inverted-vee as a multiband antenna
and a ladder line feeder. With the KX1 internal tuner, the T1 or a LDG Z-817,
once tuned in a band, I did not have to re-tune as long as I stayed in that
band.
However, with the KXAT3 and with the same ante
Hello Pierre. Once you have initally tuned in the band of your choice,
why don't you just bypass the internal ATU?

Hi Stan,
What I often do is to make very frequent band change so I would have to
repeat each time the bypass/debypass process... I would prefer to have a
higher threshold for all bands.
Or another possibility: At the start of a session, I could do a tuning
somewhere in each band I plan to use. Th
Pierre,
When you "bypass" the tuner, it is taken out of the circuit (well
almost) - sort of like no tuner at all.
You would only want to set the tuner to bypass if you have resonant
antennas or you are working into a dummy load.

Pierre,
Wayne has responded on the KX3 Yahoo group that the band segments are 20
kHz wide, so if you start at the bottom of the band (well - 10 kHz
inside) and do an ATU TUNE, then move up 20 kHz and do another ATU TUNE
- continue until you get to the top of the band of interest - the KXAT3

Thanks for clearing that one up, Don. I thought "bypass" would keep it
from attempting to retune but hold the last solution. I guess I should
read the manual, eh?

That would be me.
