Hi,
I am seeing some odd behavior when using my K2/KPA100/KAT100 at temperatures of 45 degrees Fahrenheit and below. I have the rig setup in my car and, as we had some pretty cold temperatures over the last couple of days, the temperature in my garage dropped to about 40 - 45. When the rig is cold and the antenna had not been tuned before it takes a long time to tune the antenna. It seems almost that the tuning just hangs. The antenna has an SWR of 1:2.2 at the tested frequency and the KAT100 had not been tuned yet (was tuned to my home antenna on the same band). When I hit TUNE, the display says 20 but the relays are not clicking. I exit and try again. After a couple of retries the relays come on clicking but very slow. The TUNE succeeds and I am back in business. Then the K2 runs flawlessly although the LCD seems to act in slow motion. I guess this is probably normal. Does anyone have seem this problem? 73 Andreas, KU7T/M _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
