[Elecraft] K3 6M problem

[James C. Hall, MD]

The weird part about this is that it hears great on 6M ! If the SWR was
truly high, I shouldn't be able to hear squat. Engaging the PR6 preamp does
its usual thing, increases signal (and noise a bit).

It's like the SWR meter is just deciding to indicate high when it's not -
and of course the output power is folded back.

Don't know if it's related Jamie, but a properly-functioning KAT3 works FB
on 6 meters.

No the ATU is in bypass and the correct antenna is selected. In fact, trying
to use the antenna tuner on the 6M antenna was fruitless. As I seem to
recall, the ATU does not work on this band.
