I did the same thing with the 994 with an ALS600. I would use the tune set at 10 watts from the K3. If the SWR wouldn't come down low enough, I selected a different antenna with my remote antenna switch, retuned and then switched back to the desired antenna and that would reset the memory and retune. Resetting the power would not clear the already stored memory. This would be a nice feature to have with any remote tuner... to avoid the cabling which can be a big pain.

I've tried this by simply using 95 feet of landscape lighting cable to supply the 12v from my shack's power supply. When something goes wrong, I switch the DC off and back on to reset the 998 but I'm still not totally satisfied. I'm looking into using a multiconductor cable wired directly to the 998's control switches for complete remote control. Of course I couldn't actually see it's display.....Maybe a camera? Occasionally the 998 runs into a matching problem and some tweaking needs to be done with the manual controls thus the need for better remote control. I've been running 1KW into the 998 from the Centurion without any issues so it does seem to be a rugged beast. 73 Steve N4LQ ----- Original Message ----- ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
