[Elecraft] Suggestions??

[Rich Arland]

While attempting to get Z60A on 40M last night I ran into a problem that I never encountered before.


My KX2 has the built in auto ATU. I took the output from the rig into a QRP SWR/PWR bridge and then into my 40M EDZ and hit the "ATU" on the rig. "Click, Buzz" and the rig came up with a 1.0-1 SWR reading. HOWEVER, my QRP bridge was pegged in reverse indicating that there was no match.


Earlier I had tried this set up on my 20M Yagi and it worked great. The rig gave me 1.0-1 and the analog meters on the QRP bridge did the same.


The only thing I can think of is the 40M EDZ is the problem. I am going to try removing the QRP bridge and see if that makes a difference.


In the mean time, anyone have a guess as to what I am seeing on 40M??
