I don't know if others have experienced this issue, but from previous
postings on low power on 10m it's possible...
My K3/100 has the KAT3 auto ATU fitted, when I have the ATU in bypass
and use the antenna 1 socket (as you are asked to when setting up the
K3's power calibration), there is a residual SWR when on the 10m band.
If I select antenna socket 2 there is no residual SWR. I've seen as high
as a 1.7:1 SWR, which not surprisingly results in lower power on 10m
unless I use the internal ATU.
Anyone else seen this?
