[ICOM] PW-1 Question

[Gary Smith]

Great idea...duh...how stupid of me not to think of that.  I did try it, and it will not tune the dummy load...but when I disable the tuner, I get a perfect 1:1 match.  So there is something wrong with the tuner and I need to get into it.

Thanks for the help!

If you have a 1 KW dummy load try it into that, a known good match which the
tuner should have no problem tuning.

Hi Jerry,

I don't think so -- one minute it's fine and 5 minutes later it isn't --
same day, same weather conditions.

Could it be rain or ice? When my ladder-line is wet, my antennas are 
more difficult to match.
