[Elecraft] K3/KPA500/KAT500 SWR Problem

[Jerry]

Thanks Wayne,

We all knew that selecting the Elecraft line was the best choice we could
make and you just once again, demonstrated that.

I have the same problem with 3933kc into a windom up 50'. I found that by
turning off everything and then back on, the KAT500  would whirl and
clatter, but would find a happy place out there on the wire. It has also
happen on 20m using a Telex 7 element beam.

Best regards,

Jerry, W1IE

We now have a senior project engineer assigned to overall K3/KPA500/KAT500
operational issues. Improvements to firmware and documentation will result,
including a new manual specifically covering setup of the full K-Line. 

Those of you who have reported problems will be contacted to make sure we
have all of the details. We may even be duplicating one or two antennas to
investigate whether antenna configuration, feedline, etc., could be a
contributing factor. However, in many cases the resolution involves menu
settings or system installation changes, and the new manual will address
them.

Our goal is to make setup and operation as smooth as possible. Thanks for
your patience.

73,
