Recap:KAT100 Tuner was going through the motions of tuning showing an SWR of 1.0-1 but K2 showing a high SWR. Reduced power on TX on all bands. SWR scale lights on the KAT100 not lighting during tune or TX.
I replaced D1 and D2 diodes on the KAT100, per Skip, WB4DAD's suggestion. This has the KAT100 tuning and showing lights operating as they should. I suspect a near lightning strike or power surge caused these to go bad? PART 2: The only issue I see now is that the tuner always reverts to ANT 1 on power up. If I shut down while set to ANT2, when I power up it will show 2 for a second then go to 1. Anyone had this problem? Thanks again to WB4DAD and his friend that passed this info to him. Also, I would like to thank Don, W3FPR for his help. He has helped me on several problems and gets my vote into the Elecraft Hall of Fame. I suspect he would have solved this as well if not for my post being rejected from the site. Now to put it all back together! Note: I ordered 10 of these diodes from an internet source, but being impatient I found them at FRY's. Same thing with the 40 pin firmware socket. So if anyone needs diodes or 20 pin sockets, feel free to contact me off list.
