There is a lot of mention regarding common mode chokes, RF grounding,
copper to aluminum connections, etc. Speaking only of my station, I
experienced no similar automatic tuner problems with equipment other
than the KAT500. I suspect other ops have similar experiences.
My typical experience using the tuner is QSY - a two second TUNE - and
the KAT knows where and what to do. Everything is just fine - until in
the middle of the QSO the tuner goes berserk and does a retune (a little
noisy). If I talk through it - all will go back to normal in a few
seconds. Disconcerting to say the least.
I do not know if this problem is damaging to the KAP500 and/or the
KPA500. Hence, I am back to running 100 Watts until this is corrected -
changing some coax connections and using the K3's internal tuner. Thus
removing the devices from the lineup.
