[Elecraft] T/R switching problem

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Jan,

What is your antenna. There has been an ongoing thread on the SteppIR site
regarding this identical problem with many types of transceivers, not just
the K3. If you have a SteppIR antenna (any model) you should take a look at
their Yahoo site.
