[Elecraft] KAT500

[Larry Snyder]

Good Morning

 

I have a KAT500 with a vertical on ANT 1 and a Hex on ANT 3. 

 

I go to 20 meters with Auto flashing an put the radio in AM and the KAT500
tunes and finds a good SWR - all is fine.  Then I play around with other
frequencies and then come back and for some reason the KAT500 appears to not
remember the tuning parameters and then retunes again for the same frequency
on the same antenna.   Why is this??  This happens frequently (i.e.: not
remembering the settings and going into retune).  

 

Also, the SWR meter on the K3 is always blank (i.e.: no bars) while on the
K3 and KPA500 I see the SWR at 1.5??
