[Elecraft] K1-4 with KAT1 giving PLO errors

Mon Jun 10 22:56:01 2002

Hi Ken,

Unfortunately this is a known problem with the KAT1.  I have had
correspondance with Gary and Wayne on this problem and Wayne has indicated
that he will be working on revising the algorithm for tuning, but no time
table has been set that I know of.

So in the meantime carry some extra feedline so you can add or remove a
little - which will usually get it to work - or carry a ZM-2 or something
else that has a wider range than the KAT1.
