[Elecraft] KX3 ATU!

[Walter Underwood]

Two suggestions.

1. Since the antenna is different in the morning, check that connections are not getting damp inside overnight.

2. After the first ATU TUNE cycle, press the same button again within a second or two. This will start the "try harder" tuning cycle.
