I recently moved and set up the same temporary Butternut vertical as I used in my previous restricted HOA location. (When this virus stuff is over and I can get help, a small tower and a decent antenna will be erected). The K3 is factory built and does not have an ATU. I get a 99 high swr reading on every band the antenna is tuned for, I replaced coax and connectors three times. My Rig Expert analyzer shows swr below 2 on the two bands I wish to use, 40m and 20m. In Tune the external P3000 shows swr below 2, however the K3 still shows 99.
I’ve looked through the archives and I can’t find the answer I was looking for. (one that didn’t require sending the radio back to the factory). I am hoping for an answer involving pilot error and an easy fix. The movers didn’t handle the radio, I white glove delivered it to the new house myself. I don’t own a dummy load yet, having sold everything but the K3 when I went to an HOA restrictive community for five years. Any help would be appreciated.
