[Elecraft] KAT100 Query

[Glenn McNeil]

G'Day Guys,

I've got a situation that I cannot find the answer to.

I have a K2/100 that I now have ( was performing HF Serive only until
recently ) interfaced with a XV50/XV144/XV432 and a KAT100 and Computer. As
an HF performer, it was and still is great. As a stand alone K2/100
interfaced with the XV's it was and still is fine. Now...hooking up the
whole shebang, with a load on Ant Term 2 on the KAT100, when I Tx on the
XV's, the SWR LEDS light up on the KAT100. Switching to Ant Term 1 on the
KAT100 ( No  Load ) and the SWR LEDS light right up..the whole lot, as there
is no load...but that is what has me stumped !

I thought that as I am using the original, low power output BNC Connector of
the K2/100 to drive the Transverters, and the radio has been told that all
XV selections are a max of 5 watt output, the K2 would only output RF from
that BNC socket. I have the Power Control set to 5W when using the XV's. It
would appear that RF is obviously coming out the Type N Socket ( I changed
from an SO239 ) on the KPA100. The XV's appear to be getting enough drive,
as they Tx normally and the LEDS on their repective front panels all light
up to around the 20w mark.

I have re read the KAT100 Manual, and no clues in there, and my menu
selections appear to be OK. I want to use the radio from 3.5 Mhz right
through to 432 Mhz, which I should be able to do. All appeared "normal" till
I added the KAT100...or forgot to change some menu setting ???
