[Elecraft] Fw: KX3 2 mtr ATU problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Emory,

A display of 99.9 SWR normally indicates either a short or an open circuit.
It has to be somewhere between the wattmeter and the dummy load - in 
other words, it *has* to be in the ATU to make any sense to me.
It is strange that you see this only below 5 MHz - are the other bands OK?

73,
