To all that provided assistance with this problem....  many thanks. 
Yes, the antenna was set to ANT 2. Story is for 47 yrs I ran a Drake B-line and when something was changed on the radio, it affected the entire unit. Along comes my K3( love this radio) and now I've learned that there are parts that are set on individual bands. When I was asked if the K3 was set to ANT 2, I responded no. BUT at that moment was not on 40 meters. I then switched to 40 and then saw that 40 WAS set to ANT 2...problem solved.

73's and thanks all,

Hi all, 
My K3 has been operating quite well until yesterday. I went to tune-up om 40 mtrs and the autotuner registered 25:1. On all other bands, it tunes properly. I then put my analyzer on the coax in the shack and it read 2.1:1. Should not be a problem for the autotuner. From what I'm seeing, the problem appears to be with the K3. What am I missing here?
Thanks for any help.
