I am using a Flex 6700 into a KPA500 into a KAT500. I have "trained" the
tuner and placed the tuner into manual mode as per a document from Elecraft.
All works well when I stay on a specific band. When I initiate a "tune",
the tuner quickly goes to the preset tuning without a problem.
When I go to another band, for example if I am operating on 40 then go to
20, it takes a second for the tuner to read the frequency during which both
the tuner and KPA500 see a high SWR. The amp then locks out.
I am using the cabling as described on page 10 of the KAT500 manual; but,
instead of Icom transceiver, I am using a Flex transceiver.
While this is not an issue when operating from my shack, when I operate
from a remote location, I am unable to use the amplifier.
Any thoughts on how to correct this issue?
