Thanks to Dick K6KR for helping me with this problem yesterday. Updating the KAT500 utility program, in combination with a KAT500 firmware reload, fixed the issue. --Ed--

Not sure if my problem is pilot error or maybe a problem within the tuner itself. I have the latest firmware installed. I am unable to manually select the antenna using the utility. I cannot physically check the tuner as it is in a remote location. Each time I select an antenna other than ANT1 using the radio buttons, the selection reverts back to ANT1. This happens whether in Bypass, Manual, or Auto modes. I have verified the antenna setup per band. In my case I want to use ANT2 for 80 meters, and have set this up in the antenna tab. I have even disabled ANT1 for 80 meters, but the utility still won't let me select ANT2 for 80 meters. The KAT500 also does not automatically switch when RF is applied, even though the utility will read the correct 3.5 MHz frequency. Any ides for what to check? --Ed-- --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
