[Elecraft] KX3 atu anomalies - or it is me.

[luca de marinis]

Hi,

I completed my KX3 #1715 few days ago and today I went to the park and using a Buddipole I tried to make some contacts. Buddipole swr was 1.4 on 20m so I used the ATU. It worked fine lowered the swr to 1.0 but then I transmitted I still could read a 1.4 swr. I moved up and down the band and tuned again and every time the ATU started from 9.9 and did the all cycle. Sometime couldn't go lower than 1.4. Sometimes after tuning the power was reduced to 2W

Am I missing something. I did a search on the reflector but didn't show anything.

Thank you in advance for your help
