That works! I tried it last night (been busy). I had a 1.5 on my RigExpert and the K3 confirmed it. You absolutely have to tune it FIRST or the VSWR will be off. Seems strange. @Elecraft (Wayne/Eric/Alan, etc): Can you confirm this is by design? :-) And what does *bypass* do exactly? I would assume leave the circuit tuned based on the last push of the ATU button which of course maybe wrong depending on what frequency you are on (which is why I initially had a "HI SWR" message. 73 -aps ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
