[Elecraft] K3 6M problem

[Brett Howard]

Actually bypass for the ATU is less bypass that one might sometimes
hope for and there have been times where even when in bypass the SWR
of a dummy may not look good however enabling the ATU, tuning, and
then going back into bypass can solve this issue.  This is why the
suggestions are being made even with the content of the original post.
