[Elecraft] KX1 ATU and PO

[Mike WA8BXN]

The relays do sort of buzz as the microprocessor tries the different
combinations. I too have noticed odd power readings depending on the antenna
used, even though the tuner reports a good swr. I will be looking forward to
see what other comments there are on this!

I have completed and installed the ATU on my KX1. It seems to work, although
I have a question or two. It seems as if the search for a match takes place
rather fast, that is, it switches the different L's and C's out quickly so
that the relays sound like they are buzzing. Is that normal? Second, I seem
to have a lot of power out on 40 (> 6W) and less power on 20M (~3W). 30M is
around 5.5W. IS this normal? I tried adjusting L2 but it didn't seem to make
a significant difference in PO.
