Out of the box, fired 7729 up…set the configuration to the quick start (which means all I did was select the external spkr set to 1). running thru a LDG AT600 pro auto tuner…and an AL-811…
All ran fine, great report across the bands…called Dave at Elecraft for some help on setting the Sql to the RF collar…great accessibility and customer service…. Came back from dinner….high SWR (ant is a Cobra Senior) Nothing else changed…but I get untransmittable SWR off of both dipoles….really high….I tried the following: 1.) Checked against both antenna's…both way high 2.) Switched Baluns….same result 3.) Switched Ant on the LDG…no joy 4.) Tried all Bands with the Tune press against both Ant…no joy 5.) When I flip on the Amp…running 35 watts…the SWR's on the LDG show pinned…on the K3 display show @ 1.2… 6.) Receive works great 7.) Replaced the coax from the K3 to the Amp… 8.) Cut and restripped the ladder line Receive is fine….cannot transmit since the simple allocation of the RF collar to the SQL function… What did I miss?
