I'm using 4.39. I just tested it to double check my previous statement. In 10Hz tuning mode it IS changing to 1Hz mode and tuning properly. In coarse tune mode (100 Hz), it is not changing tuning rate. I withdraw my statement about the 10Hz but stand by the 100Hz. Thanks for making me check!

Note that the CWT indicator range, upon which the autospot function is based, is only about 200 Hz wide. In 100 Hz step mode, you'd have to be less than 1 step away from zero beat for the function to work. 73, Lyle KK7P I'm using 4.39. I just tested it to double check my previous statement.

Alan, do you have the coupler oriented correctly with the TRANSMITTER end connected to the KPA500 and the LOAD connected to the antenna. It sounds like you have it backwards so the W2 is reading the reflected power as forward (20-30 watts) and the forward power as reflected which would trigger a
