The radio was used at the digital station, so RTTY was the active mode. 6M was not used on this radio.
Ron, yes, you are quite correct about the ATU - it does work on 6M. :) I just never had to use it. Just for grins I switched in the ATU and could only get 3.9:1 SWR. Taking the cable off the ANT connector and putting it on my MFJ analyzer, it shows 1.3:1. Sigh ... Worked perfectly on 6M prior to taking it to FD. 73, Jamie WB4YDL -----Original Message----- From: Joe Subich, W4TV [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 01, 2011 11:51 AM To: James C. Hall, MD; Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 6M problem Jamie, Did the antenna selection on the K3 get toggled to ANT 1 for six meters? Remember the ATN1/ANT2 is stored on a per band basis. If the rig was used in 6 with ANT 1 at field day, it's likely that ANT 1 is still selected! 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 7/1/2011 12:06 PM, James C.
