My tuner on K3 shows tuning but ends up with - - in display it does not show
swr just noticed it a couple days ago.
any suggestion on tuner?
I tried tuning on 20m antenna and with dummy load.
The radio on antenna works as i talked to ham in Virginia with no swr showing.

If you are using the KAT3 tuner, then you are too close to the 8215khz IF
Trap mounted on the KAT3 tuner.
Years ago the original traps were burning up and Elecraft replaced them with
a new trap that could be tuned.
That did not completely solve the problem, so Elecraft suggested shorting
out th
After indicating a good match, example 7285, the radio will flash HIGH SWR
momentarily on the next attempt to transmit and then no further message but
little or no power out. Using external tuner with either antenna output it
operates as expected.

I set the tuning power level to 2W to tune my MFJ magnetic loop, but when I
used SSB at the weekend to work a few stations in the contest I noticed that
the SWR reading was peaking quite a bit. At 2W the K3 SWR meter would never
read below 1.2:1. I increased the tuning power level to 3W, and that
or just use the electronic form - I just keep latest man on HD and reader it
- easier to search too.
BTW - I can tune my SG-237 on 3w, but it doesn't tune reliably on less (3w
is stated in the SG spec).

Good morning, Lee. Per the C1-3 Errata (Feb 1), CONFIG:TUN PWR was added to
control the power level at which the TUNE button works, so that function is
controllable.
However, the same errata states that, "Note: TUN PWR does not pertain to ATU
TUNE, which always uses 5 or 10 W and is internall
I thought it was less than 5 watts. I'd prefer it to be a lot less - I'd
rather not pollute the air while tuning up.

How does the K3 Tuner work? Does it tune at a lower wattage? If so, what is
that? I am not sure there is a setup for the tuner...or am I missing
something. Mine tunes the antenna at 5 wattsbut should that not be higher?
Like 20 watts? I know it will take the 100 watts and does well..

I'm not sure what your expectations are, but if they are
reasonable, you won't be unhappy with the KAT3.

Yes it's true, and it's the same for Icom and Kenwood radios too. I beli
Brett,
This is from the FAQ page (lots of great information there)
Will the KAT3 have similar specs as the KAT100? Specifically, will it match
10:1
SWR loads?
The K3's KAT3 ATU will match a range of 10:1 through 100W.

So I was recently reading about the IC756ProIII and noticed that it said its
tuner was rated for 3:1? Does that really mean that you have to have a 3:1
or better SWR or it can't tune it? I'm assuming that my antenna which is
resonant for 40,20,15, and 10 would not be able to be tuned up on 80 wit
Yeah you knew what I meant!
Minimum of four per mode per band would be my thought.

At least 50 "memories" per antenna (five points per band but
more on 160/80 and fewer on 30/17/12). The tuner should also
interpolate (or extrapolate) if necessary
