[Elecraft] K3 - Elecraft Antenna Tuner KAT3

[Lee Buller]

I am curious as to the experience of others on the list concerning the KAT3.  Mine works find, but never finds that 1.0 to 1 match.  It will find 1.2 or so (which is OK I know) but does not seem to find anything better.  Yes, I do the tune procedure twice within 5 seconds.  Latest firmware.  It also seems to increase over time a tad....and I am not moving around on frequency that much either.  I am kinda addicted to running stations.

Antenna is a Force-12 which is about .14 to 1.6.  I really don't need to use the tuner but I do.  The 40 meter vee and the 80 mter vee do the same thing when I run the antenna tuner.  I do not on 40 CW and the 80 meter dipole is tuned to mid band since I try to work both SSB and CW.  All this has bee checked by an antenna analyzer.

Just asking another one of my brilliant questions...

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
