[Elecraft] Re: KX1 relays switching

[Donald Nesbitt]

Humm - when I have the ATU in the "tun" position (yes, it's lowercase on
mine)  I hear the relay click each time I go from band to band including the
jump from 30 to 20 - BUT - when I have the ATU in the "CAL" position, it
does not "click" when going from 30 to 20 as described but does "click" on
the other jumps. All seems to work correctly in both "tun" and "CAL."  Is
there something wrong here?  --don n4hh
