What was the KAT500 mode when you observed this problem? There is a known

I have had a similar problem and in my case I was not looking at the right spot

There are two different spots when using the KAT500 utility. The Operate menu

If you are satisfied with the performance of the MFJ tuner, you can
certainly give it a try. A friend of mine had one to sell a few years ago,
and let me try it on my very NON-resonant antenna. I have a 30' vertical
that requires a tuner on any except 30 meters. The tuner in the K3

Hi Alan,
Like you, I have an MFJ-998 auto tuner, but was never really satisfied with its
integration with the Elecraft K3. I suggested to Martin that MFJ produce a
cable to integrate with Elecraft radios, but that hasn't yet happened so far as
I know.

Hi all.
I am contemplating purchasing a KPA500 amplifier to complement my K3.
I currently have a MFJ 998 tuner which is good for 1.5KW but I think that the
KAT500 tuner from Elecraft will be a superior product. Would this be a sensible
assumption?
If I also buy the KAT500, will it easily
Excellent condition and works great. Selling the station...

Sometimes when the weather changes, the match changes. There was a thread
like this awhile back and it was noted that the different residual
capacitances and inductances when using the KAT500 versus the ATU in the K3
makes a difference in being able to find a match with certain loads. It was

I have a fairly early KAT500 tuner (#275). I am using it to tune several
antennas. Recently it has stopped finding acceptable matches to a
ladderline-fed 110 ft. dipole. This problem is only on 40-meters. The SWR
anywhere in that band is around 8:1. The tuner works great on all other
bands
David,
What have you changed on that antenna system since it last worked?
The length of the antenna is only part of the story, because the length
of the feedline is also an important parameter. If you changed the
feedline, that can make the difference between working and not working.

Have you tried a dummy load with tuner on 40m?
Have you used an analyzer on the antenna?

Also, consider making sure you have the latest firmware updates. I have
also experienced the situation where the K3 internal tuner will tune my
200' ladder-line fed doublet but the KAT500 will not. I'm hoping that
subsequent updates will improve the KAT500's algorithms.

I am going to T8 Palau on September 9 primarily to work 80/160 CW, taking my

would be willing to loan for a couple of weeks? Elecraft has no
