[Elecraft] K2 KAT2 Issues/Questions

[Paul Locker]

Don et all,
I've had a dummy load connected and still get a high current message.  With the 
same dummy load, the ATU struggles to find a match for ant1, however for ant2 it 
finds a match with out issues.    For my null, I got 006.  


This evening I'm going to go back and redo the CALn setting.


Thank you for your time on the list.


Paul

Paul,

Not quite enough information yet to give you a positive answer.
Are you using the KAT2 in the ATU CAL menu setting?  If not, what do you have 
connected to the ANT jack(s) - hopefully a dummy load.  If it is other than a 
dummy load, what happens with a dummy load attached?
Did you obtain a good null when you balanced the KAT2 wattmeter?  If not, that 
is the starting point, even if that is not the problem source.
