The waiting finally got to me and I asked Lisa for an anticipated

a kit K3 placed on 3 May and acknowledged 5 May should ship in early
November. So you're probably right.

I am a bit puzzled by the reference on page 36 of the Owner's Manual
which states that USB is the only mode allowed on this band when
referring to the U.S. 60-metre channel assignments.
Would someone please confirm that the K3 will in fact operate on other
modes on 60 metres? Other than in

I have searched the email archivesbut have not found an answer to this
question about the KAT-100 Tuner.
When the SWR to the antenna is 1:1 without the tuner(and the KAT100 is in
line) does the KAT100 figure that there is no issue and goes to a mode or point
where there is no C and

Any advice or opinion? (Like this bunch doesn't have any of that)
You may have made the under-statement of the year.

Zerobeat Ham Forums:
The KAT100 does not have a relay to bypass the LC circuits. So, with
an existing match, it still needs to tune out its own impedances in
order to operate properly. If you know that the antenna is already
matched, you should tune the KAT100 into a dummy load, then use the
settings it works
Lee,
The KAT100 (note no dashes in Elecraft model numbers - except for the
N-Gen :-) ) does not automatically go to a bypass mode. If you tune it
into a 50 ohm resistive load, you may find it tunes to some small
inductance and capacity in-circuit and may actually increase the SWR a

It's available now, Gordon. There's a statement on the K3 Owner's Manual

general to the K3.
The K3 will operate on all modes on 60 meters. In the US we're limited
to USB.

Those symptoms could indicate that the 15 meter entries in the EEPROM

Try running CAL PLL before doing anything else - don't forget to plug

If CAL PLL does not correct it, record all your menu entries and try a

Most any indoor antenna is in close proximity to the transceiver, and it
