I need some help troubleshooting a KAT issue. I have a K2 (+KAT + Serial + 160m + 60m/transverter interface) that I have used quite a bit without any issues. This weekend I decided to take my K2 out of town for the weekend on a family trip. I figured that I could measure & cut the wire dipoles, and test out the K2 with the new EEE laptop etc and in general just test & prep for the upcoming Field Day outing next weekend. With the tuner set to Auto my K2 will not tune up properly. When I hit the Tune button I get a "1.0:1" then "LO P" message. (It does not matter what the P out is set to and the current draw is pretty low.) When I got home tonight I plugged the k2 into the shack to test it again and I get the same results into my antennas and a known good dummy load. The radio is set to current limiting of 3.5 so that should not be issue. When I flip to the ATU menu to the setup and listen to the relays for the inductors, capacitors, and antenna jacks I hear all of the clicks where I expect them. I am a bit panicked now as I thought that I was largely prepped for Field Day and my rig is having problems. (One of the many reasons that I built the K2 was for a Field Day rig and camping.) I am looking for some troubleshooting directions as my window for this repair is pretty short. Please respond to the list and direct (I get the digest version so CC direct and I will see the messages much sooner.)
