Hi ken,
Added the dummy, no problems, so it is the antenna... Also, given it is
a 6BTV with the 18 meter add on, and all other bands work, it is not the
feedline...
This makes it simple to fix! It is either a break with the laws of
physics as we understand them today-- or a connection has c
Thanks Ken... That is the next step... Now I need to locate one...

That helps triage the issue... Something in my antenna must have gone
wonky... I am using a 6BTV, with the 18 Meter add on kit, so the same
feedpoint is used for all bands, and they are fine... I was worried it
was the tuner. I'll go check the antenna out tonight, and in the
morning as well
When you have issues like this the best test is to use a known good dummy
load. That removes the antenna system from the equation. See what happens
on 18mHz when transmitting into the summy load.

When unpowered the KAT500 is bypassed, ANT1.
When the ATU is in mode BYP, yes, it’s bypassed.

Hello,
My KAT500 which worked yesterday, now shows a 3:1 on 18 MHz., only.
Antenna is a single feedline to a 6BTV, and an analyzer says all is good
at low power. At 100 watts, all seems good.
All other bands seem OK at high power.
Question: When in bypass, is the entire tuner bypassed?
