[Elecraft] Re: Now What?? T-1

Hi Jerry,

The red light after end-of-tune-up indicates a high SWR. This would 
normally not cause any problem with the T1 since it has bypass 
capacitors on all of the microcontroller leads. But you could have a 
case of extreme RFI; it could be caused by a ground loop, or even a VHF 
or UHF oscillation in the radio. Unusual but not impossible.

What power level are you using? You might try doing tune-ups at 2 watts 
to see if your difficulties are proportional to power out.

I've also asked Gary in our CS department to help you with this.
