[Elecraft] KX1 Tuner

[EMD]

Hello,

My KX1 has been having problems getting a low SWR.  At home I had a long
wire strung out the up stairs window getting 1.2:1 to 1.6:1.  I took the
same wire with me on a trip and now I cannot get the Antenna Tuner to tune. 
I'm getting 9.9:1 on both 20 and 40m.  I'm in Anchorage Alaska and I'm not
receiving any signals as well.  There must be some on 40 meters I would
think.  

The only difference is that I broke one of the wire connectors from the wire
so I tried attaching bare wire to the antenna connector.  

I did a inductor/capacitor relay check using a dummy load on 20 and 40m and
this is what I have found:

20m       Watts          SWR             

L0              .6             1.0
L1            1.2             2.1
L2            1.2             9.9
L3              .9             7.9
C0           1.0              9.0
C1            .7               7.3
C2            .6               7.0
C3            .5               5.8
n1            .6               1.0
n2            .5               1.0

40m        Watts          SWR
L0             1.1             1.0
L1             1.0             1.2
L2             1.2             2.1
L3               .9             6.0
C0             1.0             3.2
C1             1.0             3.0
C2             1.0             2.8
C3               .8             3.1
n1               .5             1.0
n2              1.0            1.0


I am away from home and was planning taking the KX1 camping next week.  I
have no access to any equipment for the time being so it looks like I may
ended up leaving the radio in the car.

Your thoughts would be appreciated!
