[Elecraft] KXPA100 hangs tuning 6m

[etksubs at gmail.com]

I recently got a KX3 and KXPA100.  I have a Cobra UltraLite Kid up in my loft with a 4:1 balun and coax down into the floor below.  I can tune most bands fine (I don’t do 80/160 due to plasma TV noise next door).  However, when I try to tune the KXPA100 at 6m it often hangs in transmit.  Or it stops with two dashes displayed.  If I check the antenna with my RigExpert AA-600, the low end of the band is between 3:1 and 4:1, whereas the upper part goes as low as 1.08 around 53 MHz.  I just went to 50.100MHz and pressed tune the display on the KX3 shows 3.1 and is stuck with the xmit light on until I press tune again.

Has anyone seen this?

  Thanks and 73,
