[Elecraft] KAT3 Problem

Hi,
Just getting K3 going and KAT3 does not tune properly on 7 and 24 MHz.
I'm pretty sure it worked earlier today on a 40 m dipole I put up but
now it doesn't tune the dipole or a dummy load. When trying to tune the
dummy load and checking the L & C I get Ca = Ct=0.66 nF and L=0.75 uH
and 2.5:1 SWR. If I change Ca = 0.04 nF and L = 0.1 uH I get 1.0:1 but
when hitting tune again the KAT3 goes back to the previous 2.5:1
settings. All other bands except 24 MHz seem ok. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
KE7X
