[Elecraft] T1 Tuner green/yellow flashing LEDs

[James Bennett]

Craig - I built one about two months ago and it’s working fine.

On mine, to go to bypass, I quickly press the PWR button, then the BYP button. Doing so alternates back and forth between bypass and not. After doing that one-two press combo, the yellow will light up for a second or two if you are in bypass and the green will light up if you are in tune/operate. Note that the label set “tap”.

The yellow will light up if you press PWR and then do nothing within two seconds or so. I believe that it is telling you the last forward power level.

Does that help?
