UPDATE:
Just to complete this for anyone searching this problem....
Elecraft support did respond.  I had sent the msg to support at elecraft.com
and not the correct address which is k3support at elecraft.com.  The test was
to disconnect the remove the ATU board and connect the RF board directly to
the antenna port - which worked OK - 1.2:1.  With ATU installed and
auto-tuned, I get 10 watts delivered to the load, so in my case the bypass
VSWR is little high, but not really a concern.  Since the ATU *is*
installed, just tune it and everything works fine.

Steve.
