Use the TUNE button to get that done. Make sure the internal antenna tuner is set to BYP mode. - Then, add in the transmission line with the dummy load terminating it. Remove the hand-built balun to do this so you're testing the line only. - Then, add in the balun and retest on all bands but connect it directly to the KX2 and terminate the other end with a dummy load. This allows you to test it by itself. It better read 1:9 or 9:1 depending on how it is connected. - Lastly, add the transmission line and the balun together and then connect the dummy load to the output of it. Be sure you're stepping through all the bands when you do this, too. As you can see, isolating the items will help you determine where, if any, there's a problem. It isn't appropriate to jump to conclusion - yet - there's a problem with the KX2. Eliminate all that is known to work properly and you'll have your answer.
