My KX1 seems to be working fine; I hear a strong signal into my other radios and no error messages or other problems.  When I install the ATU I can null C9.  When I tune, power always reads 0, sometimes for a second 1; R always equals 9.9.  I am feeding to resonant antennas, a dipole on 14, an end fed on 7.  R4 is at maximum.  The same thing happens with the internal batteries or with a 13.5 power supply.  I have checked my connections, soldering and toroids several times.  Any suggestions would be very appreciated.  I do not have a wattmeter or an swr meter.  Thank you!

Sincerely,

Bruce
