I have done the reading of the printout - some really crazy SWR numbers
for the antenna that I know are not correct.
So far as RF in the shack - I might consider that - if things had not
been working correctly until abut a month ago. Nothing has changed until
then, causing all the efforts and modifications to isolate the problem.
Other rigs - with ATUs - are working just fine with the entire station.
Everything RF is brought into the house to a well grounded bulkhead.
Longest run from any rig/amp/tuner is 6 feet to the bulkhead.
Interconnects are all as short as possible. Equipment is all connected
to a central grounding point. In other words - been there and done that
out of habit.
Tonight I am running barefoot with the antenna running direct to the K3
- all is good. Tomorrow I will try to get everything back to where it
was before this mess started and tune when I QSO as a routine and forget
whatever else the tuner is supposed to do. Sure reminds me of what it
was doing when I first got it.
A manual tuner will be ordered very soon and the KAT500 removed from the
lineup.
I don't see a magic bullet on this - thanks for all the ideas.
