Re: [Elecraft] kpa1500-ic-7300 FT8
Almost sounds like you have a connection somewhere on 6 meters that is not 100% and as soon as the RF hits it makes itself solid. Could be anywhere in the circuit. That's the first thing I would check out. On Sat, Jun 13, 2020 at 2:17 PM Richard Zalewski wrote: > ATU is doing its job on all bands.

ATU is doing its job on all bands. Also to note I am only pushing the amp to about 125W output.
