[Elecraft] [K3] KAT3 not functioning on 6m

[w4sc]

Bill,

I had an issue very similar.  The “Automatic TXGain” procedure is performed at 52 MHz.  I was using a 50 ohm load attached, and at 50.125 the KAT3 have trouble matching the load.  Also it appears there is not enough power out in the lower part of the band for the SWR bridge to function. 

Part of the problem is I believe, the f/w switches the KPA3 ON at 8  watts instead of the usual 12………..

Performing a MANUAL TX Gain procedure on 6M may help. 

Here is link to post I made several weeks ago.
