[Elecraft] KAT 2

[nr5a]

Ok, yes, I'm stupid, no I can't follow directions or understand them, I need 
them on pre-school level I guess. I had my A ver, K2 brought up to a B 
version, just got the K2 back today with all the upgrades. 160m module, KNB 
2, and KAT 2 amoung the other stuff.

I'm sitting here, I hit the Menu button. Next I rotate the main tuning knob 
to ATU  AUTO just like the instructions say.

A fast push on the Menu button again returns the K2 to freq readout as it 
should be. 7040

I've got the power output knob set to the 2nd dot turning it clockwise 
wattmeter on K2 says 2.5watts.

I tap the ANT 1/2 button and I can see it go from ANT 2 to ANT 1, I assume 
its on ANT 1 because no lil down arrows are on ANT 2.

Next I hit the ANT 1/2 button and hold it in a few seconds, I hear the 
rattling of relays. I watch the WM-2 wattmeter I always keep inline. The 
rattling stops, the cw tone stops, and the SWR is pegged, both in Ref and 
Fwr positions. What am I doing wrong???

I have the directions open to page 18 and am following the Basic ATU 
Operation (auto mode) step by step, or so I thought, What am I not doing?
I'm trying to tune back on 7040 and only hear static. There is a big 
difference between Ant 1 and Ant 2 in noise level. Ant 1 is where the noise 
is but no signals coming thru.

Its not my antenna, a hour ago using my FT-817 thru a T-1 tuner I was tuned 
up on 40m. I used the K2 thru the T-1 before the conversion, and it worked 
great. The antenna is a 22ft vert gnd mounted with 14 radials.

So can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?? And explain it to me so I can 
understand it, remember your talking to a very frustrated stupid person.
