[Elecraft] KAT100 Problem

[Unifiedtx@aol.com]

I have version 1.05 firmware in my KAT100.  When it tries to tune the K2 to 
my Carolina Windom 80 on 28.000 mhz, it tunes correctly (1:1).  When I tune to 
28.445 mhz, it goes through a lengthy tuning procedure, and finally goes to 
the low power range still not able to find a match.  The tuner works well on all 
other bands including 60 meters (excluding 160 however since there is no 
reasonable match with this antenna).  Sometimes the KAT hangs up on 10 meters and 
the swr leds will stay lit even though I try to push the TUNE button to get 
out of the tuning process. (No, I am not changing the antenna input.)  If I 
continue to tune at 28.445mhz it will eventually get down to a 1.2 or 1.3 swr.  I 
am tuning at 100 watts, and it does reduce power to the 20 watt level while 
tuning.   My version 1.04 did not act up like this.  Has anyone else experienced 
this with version 1.05?
