[Elecraft] KAT3 Problem

[Cady, Fred]

Thanks Tom. Been there done that and that's what it acts like but the
ant selection is OK. I can bypass the atu and it sees the dummy load
fine. Would there be any filters or anything that are used on 7 and 24
only?
Thanks,
Fred

Fred:

Double check that you somehow didn't manage to get ANT2 set as the
default antenna selection for those bands... if so, you're probably
tuning into NO ANTENNA...!
