[Elecraft] So here is one that has me stumped...

[Dale Putnam]

George,   ON the off chance.... what was the weather like when you left it for dinner/during dinner... and was the antenna disconnected during dinner?

Have a great day,

> Out of the box, fired 7729 up…set the configuration to the quick start (which means all I did was select the external spkr set to 1). running thru a LDG AT600 pro auto tuner…and an AL-811…
> 
> All ran fine, great report across the bands…called Dave at Elecraft for some help on setting the Sql to the RF collar…great accessibility and customer service….
> 
> Came back from dinner….high SWR (ant is a Cobra Senior)
> 
> Nothing else changed…but I get untransmittable SWR off of both dipoles….really high….I tried the following:
> 
> 1.) Checked against both antenna's…both way high
> 2.) Switched Baluns….same result
> 3.) Switched Ant on the LDG…no joy
> 4.) Tried all Bands with the Tune press against both Ant…no joy
> 5.) When I flip on the Amp…running 35 watts…the SWR's on the LDG show pinned…on the K3 display show @ 1.2…
> 6.) Receive works great
> 7.) Replaced the coax from the K3 to the Amp…
> 8.) Cut and restripped the ladder line
> 
> 
> 
> Receive is fine….cannot transmit since the simple allocation of the RF collar to the SQL function…
