[Elecraft] KAT100

[Mike Harris]

G'day all,

Just completed a KAT100.  All OK no problems.  I did leap ahead when
installing the resistors from the RF board to the front panel board to use
them up.  Spectacular noise when searching for a match, XYL in the kitchen
thought something had self destructed.  Tried putting it on a soft mouse mat
to decouple from the hard table top but didn't make much difference.

Never mind, once matched, and it does match my 40 metre inverted "V" on any
band all is peaceful.  Having said that, it doesn't seem to remember match
settings on 160 metres after a power down, is this a firmware bug in?

I find that sometimes it "only" manages 1.3:1 on the first pass but tune a
second time on the same frequency and it finds 1:1.

Regards,
