Completing the K2 set, last night I finished the KAT100 tuner! I have an attic dipole (for bad wx use) and a classic 135' Zepp strung over to the woods perfectly placed about 145' from the house. So when the ant tuner was done I hooked up each antenna to its two connectors.
But I had no signal coming in the connector with the Zepp. I used the AT menus to test each relay & they all clicked. Hmmm, took the cover off the AT, chose each antenna & checked relay K18 with an ohmmeter and everything looked good for each ant. setting. Only then did it occur to me to put the Zepp on the other connector which had been working fine with the attic ant. Oh no, now neither connector was working. (Yes, I was sleepy.) It was close to midnight and I figured I'd better stop since I had to get up for work. That's when it dawned on me - I had never connected the Zepp feedline to the line inside the house! :-P My shoulders sagged and I groaned. So I connected the feedline, and everything worked perfectly. Moral: it really isn't wise for me to do much thinking around midnight! Maybe the story is a little entertaining - though at the expense of my pride. :-) By the way, what a great tuner! It makes matches my LDG never could, and is so convenient to use with the tight integration to the K2.
