I was playing with my K3S listening to code on 40m. I could clearly hear the signal but it wasn't loud. I spun the dial up a good bit and listened, nothing heard after about a minute so I pressed ATU Tune. The ATU clicked a few times and stopped. I spun back down where I was (somewhere around 7.033MHz) and dialed in the signal. Sounded about the same. Just for grins I did a long press ATU Tune (ATU) to BYPASS. The signal immediately jumped over S9 (was around S7 before). That didn't make sense so I repeated the process a few times with the same results.
Am I wrong to expect a higher signal level with the ATU tuned than bypassed? Thanks in advance.
