Hello,
My KAT500 which worked yesterday, now shows a 3:1 on 18 MHz., only. 
Antenna is a single feedline to a 6BTV, and an analyzer says all is good 
at low power.  At 100 watts, all seems good.

All other bands seem OK at high power.

Question:  When in bypass, is the entire tuner bypassed?
Question:  When turned off is the tuner bypassed?  Which antenna is default?
