     What is the state of R36 (it's right next to the antenna connector)?
I think one of the mods may be to make it switchable.  It needs to be
in-circuit for the K1's meter to work if the ATU is not installed.  If the
ATU /is/ installed, the resistor should be out of the circuit so the meter
will be driven from the ATU's rf sense circuits.
