Hi Les
I also noticed the phantom SWR indication (jump to 3.4:1 on my amp,

to be affected - power level stays the same, and no fault condition gets

Les,
Possibly "power drift" in your antenna? Sometimes trap antennas have ceramic
capacitors which drift under high power. Try a dummy load, etc. I think the
SWR threshold point at which the auto tuner makes correction is adjustable
in the amp. Try setting it up a little higher? Please let us
If the tuner is like the KAT500, you should switch to Manual operation
after you have trained it. Then, it won't be allowed to try re-tuning
with every little blip in power.

Les,
We’re virtually certain this is a firmware issue affecting only the bar graph.
Once it has been corrected, we’ll issue a new release. The indication has no
other implications, so you can keep on using the amp normally.

Great idea, Michael. But with one important possible gotcha --
virtually all of the power supplies for monitors like this are
switch-mode types, and almost all generate RF noise. Several years ago,
we were lucky to identify several Samsung models that run on a nominal

Michael,
For the options, you will have to look at your station and your

Do you have all resonant antennas? If not, add the KAT3A.

The radios are very similar, I have both and for the most part don't see a world

better if you care about the higher bands.

I think if you are chasing DX on sideband it might be helpful to also get

adjacent stations so you can hear the weaker DX signal.

Make sure you are running the KX2 Utility with the PC connected via the KXUSB
