K3:7360 P3:3112
Ant1 is a 3 el SteppIR
Ant2 is a 347 ft. longwire
Tuning either antenna through the K3 ATU measures 3:1 or higher on the
K3 display. Bypassing the ATU and using an external SWR meter measures
1.3:1 for the SteppIR after tuning the SDA100.
It used to work great 100% of the time. Only thing that has changed in
the K3 is install of the KXV3A as part of the P3 assembly.
What to do? Does the K3 need a factory visit?
73, Larry W7IN
