Dick,

First make certain the ATU menu parameter is set to "tun".
Then hold both the buttons in the upper right of the front panel together to initiate a TUNE.

If the KAT1 already has a tuning solution in place, the process will go quickly and you may have to listen closely to hear relays click. When it has found a tuning solution, it will display the resulting SWR. Tap any button to exit the TUNE process.

Once you have Tuned the KAT1 to a particular antenna on a band, when you return to that band it will switch to that tuning solution. So if you have done a TUNE on all bands, there is no need to re-tune unless you change antennas.

Built and operate the Elecraft K1 transceiver S/N 1112.  It has always
functioned perfectly in the past, QRPDXCC etc.  I had not used the K1 for
sometime and recently tried to fire it up.  The unit includes the KAT1 ATU.
Have been trying to follow the KAT1 operating Instruction Assembly and
Operating Instruction manual apparently to no avail.  Obviously feel I am
missing a step somewhere.  Would be most appreciative to receive clear
step-by-step tuning instructions, re tuning, loading, SWR etc.  Thank you in
advance for your assistance in this matter.  Dick - W7MPZ
