[Elecraft] K3S - High SWR on 6 Meters

[Bob McGraw]

Is the ATU in BYPASS or  AUTO mode?  A dit would cause it to resolve a 
match or recall a previous match.   If your 6M antenna has an SWR of 
1.5:1 or less, then the ATU should be in BYPASS mode for 6M.

With WSJT-X, is the Radio Setup menu set to Fake It or SPLIT? If SPLIT, 
then is VFO B on some random or frequency distant from VFO A?   I 
suggest setting the WSJT-X Setup to Fake it.
