Firmware versions 2.05 and 1.75 do not necessarily support all the same macro commands. If you were loading a macro under v1.75, be aware that it may not be supported with v2.05. Alternatively, you may need to add a macro under v2.05 depending on tune power level. Just a thought. 73 Lyn, W0L

[Elecraft] Problem with KAT500 firmware v. 2.05

2022-01-03 Thread Bob McGraw
I don't find that to be the case with my KAT500.  Upgraded to 2.05 a couple of weeks ago.  I just ran 80M every 25 kHz from 3.525 to 3.975.  The original memories and a few added show 1.0:1 on my K3S at all points.  The external SWR/PWR meter between the radio and tuner input agrees.  The anten
