Guys, I've run into something on 80M trying to use the internal antenna tuner. It fails to tune to a low SWR. Brian K3KOI had a similar problem but never quite got to the bottom of it because partly intermittent, possibly multiple faults. In the end to fix it:- a) I rewound one of the swr sensor toroids (centre wire had possibly arced to ferrite because I disconnected antenna by mistake and tuned), and b) fixed a new earthing wire between KAT3 chassis and SO259 Ant1 socket body. (possible poor earth connection via KAT3 securing pillar to side panel) John G3PQA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
