I've recently installed the KAT3 in my K3. The instructions are quite vague and I'm not sure mine is operating correctly.
First, the manual says there are 30 memories/band for the ATU settings. These seem to change automatically as I tune around. The question is, does the unit switch settings at the points at which I tuned or half way between? IOW, if I tuned at 1820 and 1860, and tune up from the bottom of the band, the tuner should start with the 1820 settings. Ideally, when I get to 1840 it should switch to the 1860 settings. Is this what happens? When I go to the LC set menu, I see the value of C and L. The manual says I can change C by turning the VFO A knob. When I do, the relays click but the display doesn't change. If I turn the VFO B knob to change L nothing happens. After turning VFO B, VFO A stops working! If I then tap ATU TUNE, it goes to another part of the menu entirely! I started on this topic because the tuner failed to find a good match at 1800. My VNA shows the impedance at the TX connector as 22+j8 which should be well within the proper range. 73, Roger -- Remember the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) http://ussliberty.org/ ______________________________________________________________ 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
