Hi all, I keep reading about the problems people are having with their KAT500 and KXPA100 tuners going into a tuning cycle when there seems to be nothing wrong with their antennas. I've had my tuners operating here for a long while and don't have those problems. Mind you, I don't do much SSB, although I did get a bunch done last week in the W1AW/7 Montana operation. Thanks to all of you who gave us a call.
There have been a couple of comments from others who have suggested that there may be RF getting back into the system or into control cables. I think these have some merit and so if you are having these troubles that might be an avenue of investigation. In the course of putting together the K-Line book and working on a second edition of the KX3 book to include the KXPA/KXAT100 amplifier, I've been able to put together some thoughts on how these tuners work. You can find an extraction of these details at http://www.ke7x.com/home/kat500-and-kxpa100-tuners.
