What is the voltage from your power supply during an attempt to achieve
100 watts output. It should be 12 volts or greater. Check with the the

If the voltage is the problem, check
Does the calibration succeed or fail?
Antenna selection is on a per band basis. Maybe you have the wrong antenna

Just to be more clear. The AL1200 takes a full 100W to drive. That's how I
found out I had a problem.
When I did the transmitter gain calibration I ren directly from the rig
thru my LP-100A watt meter then to the dummy load. I tried changing out the
coax and the swr was at 1.05 or less at all times
You should see what happens when you hit it with 200 watts !!

Likely to be the same as the KX3-2M. That price will be announced next Friday

Hi Nate,
Thanks for posting this. I'm reading the thread, and will contact Glen (K9STH),
the experimental licensee who filed the 70-MHz petition with the FCC. It'll be
interesting to get his current take on the 4-meter band.

As usual, your hint took me directly to the solution.
I had forgotten that the KAT2 doesn't have a true 'bypass' mode.
The problem I had was that the KAT2 had a small amount of stray L or C in
line, on 20 meters.
I solved the problem by switching to the dummy load and 'running' the ATU

Sam,
If you are using the same antenna on the main and sub, there is a 3 dB
splitter inserted to feed both receivers. That will cause a 3 dB
reduction in signal to the main RX compared to without the sub.
