[Elecraft] KAT500 - Tuning Anomoly

[Don Wilhelm]

The KAT500 needs at least 20 watts for effective tuning.  Apparently 
your antenna system is breaking down at some level below that.
Inspect all insulators and feedline connections.

I did conduct the test and down to 2 watts the KAT500 still searched for a tune.As I indicated when connected direct the  K3 ATU finds a reasonable match at the any power level from 2 to 100 watts.Regardless, it still points to the antenna as the problem.  Will check it out further.Thanks,Bill - W0BBI
