Stuart Thank you for the insight. I calculated the % the wire lengths were off by % the frequency was off, and I also moved the model up in frequency (by shortening wire lengths in the model) by the amount it differed from the measurement. In other words, the actual was about 200 KHz below

When I first turn on my K2/100 the KAT100-1 works fine. After it has been on for a while, the KAT100-1 refuses to retune to a new frequency at opposite ends of the band on 80 or 40 meters (for example). There are no relay clicks and the SWR LEDs light up showing an out of resonance condition

The D 104 mic (unamplified version) needs to look into a very high impedance (50k ohms or greater). That mic was developed in the days of vacuum tubes with mic amplifier input inpedances in the 50k to 1 megohm range. Modern transceivers present an impedance of something close ot 600 ohms at the
