No, that is why I posted. Perhaps I should be pleased, but instead I am bothered.
Last night in testing/playing, have gone to the low and high end of every band and tuned. Always with the same result. I hear the start/stop beep (but no relay clatter), then 1.0 -1 as the setting. I have changed the display mode to SWR and swept portions of the band in TUNE (at 1 watt) with the same result 1.0 - 1 everywhere? One other else thing I noticed (last night), Right now Ant 2 is not connected, my plan is to have that connected to the DL1, but when I was working last night it was not. I was listening to 40M, the band seemed good and was on a pretty stong signal. Then while playing with the controls, I decided to switch over to Ant 2, expecting to hear silence (the K2 is quiet), to my surprise I heard the strong signal breaking in, then being squelched. I thought the isolation between Ant 1 and Ant 2 should have been high enough to avoid this. Then 1 went up in freq. abit around 7060 kHz and found that even noise would break through occasionally, this again surprised me, I could perhaps understand a strong signal, but just noise.......? So my concern is that on transmit I am getting some spill-over/leakage into the other Antenna channel. Thanks, again. -----Original Message----- From: Don Wilhelm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 7:47 AM To: Chuck; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: RE: [Elecraft] KAT2 Question....is mine working? Chuck, Did you ever hear the relays click once? Like the first time you attempted a TUNE with that antenna. The KAT2 remembers the tuning settings for each band (on each of ANT1 and ANT2), and when that band is selected there are some clicks from the KAT2 when the bandchange is made along with the bandswitching relay clicks from the K2, so it is hard to tell them apart. If the SWR is already at 1, then further presses of TUNE will only result in an occasional relay click if any at all - becuase it is already tuned. You may have no problem at all - just the nice operation of the stored settings for the KAT2. If the wattmeter in your KAT2 is properly set for reflected power, all is working OK. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I just finished my KAT2, everything cal'd and aligned according to the > manual using my DL1 dummy load. > > When I hook the tuner up to my (10 - 40M) attic dipole and use the > tune, I am expecting to hear some relay sounds, but nothing?
