Hi Paul,

Glad the TX Gain calibration fixed the ATU issue.
Always thankful for the 'no soldering/de-soldering
fixes required!'

Thanks a lot.  Your point out the TX power control made me think.  So I redid 
the TX Gain Calibration and now all is well!

I suspect I might have set the power to either 5w or 50w and hit the XMIT 
button..

Re: [Elecraft] K3 KAT3 usage

2023-11-22 Thread Michael Carter via Elecraft
Hi Paul,

I would first check that the KAT3 is still enabled.
Use the CONFIG menu to scroll through until
you see the KAT3 status.

I find sometimes that if my finger lingers too
long on the ATU TUNE button, it causes the
ATU to go into BYPASS mode, i.e. the ATU is
not inline.  It should show BYPASS briefly
if you attempt ATU TUNE and the ATU
is bypassed.

As frequent prior threads on this and
other Elecraft forums have emphasized,
do NOT press the XMIT button with
the transmit power control set at ** exactly **
5 watts or 50 watts - this will initiate a
TX Gain calibration that you probably don't
intend to launch.

73,
Mike, K8CN
