[Elecraft] Lo P ATU -- help!

[WA5PB]

Hey Gang,

I am in need of some assistance.  Today, while taking the K2 mobile I have
experienced a little problem.  My standard mobile operation with the K2 has
always consisted of the K2 w/ its ATU running into a 10m mobile magmount
whip.  Up till today, I have been able to tune at least 10-20 and often 40
using the ATU without any error displays.  Today, while trying to tune on
both 15 and 17 meters I keep getting at Lo P reading while I hit TUNE.  The
K2 tunes up fine with no errors on other bands like 10 and 20 meters and
does not give me this error.  The K2 used to also tune up 15 and 17 ok.  I
have tried ATU INIT and have tried turning up my power all the way (all
thought that probably doesn't make any difference since I am running a 2.01
firmware that automatically backs the power back to 3 watts in TUNE anyway.)
I am not sure what to do next.  I only know of the problem while mobile, I
will check this against my G5RV tonight when I get home.  Any help and ideas
would be greatly appreciated.  :-)
