Still have not figured out what's wrong with my newly built K1 w/ ATU.
For some reason everything is fine on the 40 M band but once I switch to 20
M the power output
drops way down. On the low part of the band the power output is much higher
but still too low.
I went thru all the C and L parameters in the ATU menu and checked the TX
output power and SWR.
Here is what I found:

Since there are 4 inductors and 5 capacitors what does L0 and C0 represent?
Figuring there was a problem with an inductor - I added a short between all
the inductors at the relays (pins 3 to 4). This did not make a difference.
However when a wire was added to K1 pin 4 to k4 pin 3 the power did come
up a couple of Watts.
I need an EXPERT to figure this out...does anyone have any ideas?
