Re: [Flexradio] Bypass Question

you are seeing appropriate behavior. If PSDR sees that the original SWR is
low (ie, < 1.3:1) it will bypass the ATU because its not needed. But you
are correct that you should never run an ATU between the rig and the amp.

[Flexradio] Bypass Question

2013-05-20 Thread H. Dave Meitzen
I just got a Elecraft KPA-500 and KAT-500 combo. Everything seems to work
fine. What I noticed in the F5K operation is if I enable the ATU in AUTO it
immediately reverts to Bypass. I have not seen this before. 

Common sense tells me to run the F5K in Bypass mode because the KAT-500 will
take care of tuning. What I do not understand is how the F5K immediately
switches from AUTO to Bypass. Has anyone seen this before?

Best Regards
Dave
