Perhaps I was lucky . . . BUT the KAT2 kit went together and aligned like a
dream. Took about 5 hours to build and an hour to set-up.The Null reading I
got after the initial and then three "fine tunes" was 003, with 0 Volts on
RX at pin 1 U4 and 3.68V on TX  . . . just as the book says!!! The power O/P
reads the same as my Daiwa power watt meter. GREAT!

I am blessed with separate resonant wire Antennas for each band ~ 165ft
Inverted "L" for 160mtrs up at 55ft, Inverted "V" Dipoles for 80 & 40mtrs at
50ft and verticals & dipoles for the HF Bands. What was 1.5:1 or 1.7:1 is
now 1:1 . . . . perfect match on any band. Will see what it does with Mobile
whips in the next day or so! BUT, for field testing ( in a field!) random
lumps of wire hanging from trees . . . . . .  will have to wait until the WX
is a little more settled.
