Pierre, You can test the inductors and capacitors using these menu entries. Here’s a general approach:
1. Connect a dummy load to the antenna jack. 2. Set the KX2 for 40 meters, about 3 watts. 3. With the ATU in BYP (bypass) mode, a TUNE should report SWR of 1.0. 4. Selecting ATU MD = L5, L6, L7 or C5, C6, C7 should make the SWR go up (larger the reactance, the greater the SWR change). 5. L1-L4 and C1-C4 can be tested in the same way, but you’ll need to use a higher band, such as 17 meters, to clearly see the impact of these smaller reactances. 6. I believe that the Ct test position also throws in a capacitor and possibly an inductor to see the effect of switching the network from C-in to C-out. This is likely to be observed best on a higher band. 73, Wayne N6KR > On May 9, 2018, at 6:23 AM, VE2PID <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi ...
