Sounds like the KPA1500 is seeing more SWR than it likes. My K3 is able to match antennas faster and better than my KAT500. I have had a number of antennas very similar to yours and spent many hours experimenting with feedline length. The length of the open like has a direct effect on the antenna system impedance. Try varying your open line length about 10 feet and with an antenna analyser measure the difference in SWR curves before and after. Additionally I find a 1:1 current balun provides a better match than a 4:1. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
