[Elecraft] KAT100 question/problem

[Mike Murray]

Mel, KJ9C, sent the following question regarding his KAT100:

>Tuner works OK on all bands and antennas EXCEPT:

>The quad on ONLY 15 meters CW band, which is already 1.0 - 1 without a
>tuner.... the tuner settles for 1.7 - 1 and won't retune any lower. If
>I go up to phone band, where ant SWR is about 2-1, it retunes to
>1.1-1.... buffaloed. It puts out full power, but not sure why.

>I troubleshot it according to the ATU manual, tried low power, looked
>for stray RF, put a choke on coax, tried ANT 2 slot instead....


Has anyone else seen this behavior or have any ideas for a remedy?

Please respond directly to: kj9c(at)iquest.net since he doesn't currently
