[Elecraft] ANTENNA TUNER on KX3-PROBLEM

[mistymaggie]

Hi,

I received my KX3 yesterday and I love it--I downloaded the utility and
updated the firmware (see below)

07:52:13 Elecraft KX3 Utility Revision 1.13.4.29
07:52:13 OS Version 6.2 Build 9200 
07:52:14 Attempting to contact KX3 on port COM4 at 19200 bit/s
07:52:14 Attempting to contact KX3 on port COM4 at 9600 bit/s
07:52:14 Attempting to contact KX3 on port COM4 at 4800 bit/s
07:52:14 KX3 MCU revision 01.61. RS-232 speed 4800 bit/s

Right now the only thing I am having trouble with is the ATU. I have gone to
the config and made sure it is set to auto--It read at first not inst--I
double checked-(eye ball) to see if the unit was installed and it was.--When
I press auto tune it comes up as N/A---

I set the vfo to 40m hit the transmit and the swr is very high
I used an external ANT Tuner MFJ after I went in and by passed the
tuner--and tuned 40 m to a 1.2 then I tried transmit again on the EX3 and it
read 1.2

I know I am new to the unit so I believe I am doing something or have not
done something correctly--I failed to mention before I did anything I
checked all the config settings and they were all default according to the
manual--Any help out there ??
