Re: [Elecraft] Hi SWR on 40mtrs

[Bill Ellis via Elecraft]

To all that provided assistance with this problem  many thanks. 
Yes, the antenna was set to ANT 2. Story is for 47 yrs I ran a Drake B-line and 
when something was changed on the radio, it affected the entire unit. Along 
comes my K3( love this radio) and now I've learned that there are parts that 
are set on individual bands. When I was asked if the K3 was set to ANT 2, I 
responded no. BUT at that moment was not on 40 meters. I then switched to 40 
and then saw that 40 WAS set to ANT 2...problem solved.

73's and thanks all,
Bill Ellis, WB9CAC

Hi all, 
My K3 has been operating quite well until yesterday. I went to tune-up om 40 
mtrs and the autotuner registered 25:1. On all other bands, it tunes properly. 
I then put my analyzer on the coax in the shack and it read 2.1:1. Should not 
be a problem for the autotuner. From what I'm seeing, the problem appears to be 
with the K3. What am I missing here?
Thanks for any help.
Bill Ellis, WB9CAC

I was going to say the same thing.  You are on the wrong Ant.

Bill,

Check to see which antenna is selected.  Having the K3 set for ANT2 
while the antenna is set for ANT1 will cause that behavior.
