[Elecraft] Atu problems on 6 meters.

Hello all,

today I was on 6 meters doing qso's, all went fine with antenna, a mobil 
one. Sudenly I saw that SWR was increasing a lot, around 3:0, full 
scale, and stoped TX. Pressed ATU TUNE botton but SWR was always high, 
so I came home.

Applied my dummyload and all is fine in all bands except 6 meters, even 
with Transmitter Gain Calibration test it fails because of high swr on 6 
meters:

Calibrating at 24,930 MHz
StopTune: Unexpected response 'TQ1;' to ''. State 77. Retrying
Calibrating at 29,000 MHz
StopTune: Unexpected response 'TQ1;' to ''. State 77. Retrying
Calibrating at 52,000 MHz
SWR 7.3:1 is too high for calibration
Verify that a dummy load is attached to AN1;

Dummy load is attached to AN1 I can confirm it.

Any help will be welcome here.

Best 73 to all.
