I also recommend this: https://www.nps.gov/pisp/planyourvisit/telegraph-room.htm I have visited the place. To my knowledge the first op and I are unrelated.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 KAT3 usage
Hi Paul, I would first check that the KAT3 is still enabled. Use the CONFIG menu to scroll through until you see the KAT3 status. I find sometimes that if my finger lingers too long on the ATU TUNE button, it causes the ATU to go into BYPASS mode, i.e. the ATU is not inline. It should show BYPASS briefly if you attempt ATU TUNE and the ATU is bypassed. As frequent prior threads on this and other Elecraft forums have emphasized, do NOT press the XMIT button with the transmit power control set at ** exactly ** 5 watts or 50 watts - this will initiate a TX Gain calibration that you probably don't intend to launch. 73, Mike, K8CN __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] K3 KAT3 usage
If I remember correctly, when an ATU tune up is requested from the front panel of a K3 equipped with a KAT3, once the tune up is completed, the final SWR is flashed to the screen? The reason I ask is that my K3 seems to have stopped doing this - even with a dummy load connected. If I hold down the xmit button for the Tune function, then the SWR is displayed along with the power output. So two questions a) Am I misremembering the behaviour of the ATU tune up? b) If not, any suggestions as to what to look for to correct it? 73 Paul M1CNK __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
