If you look at the knob carefully, you will probably discover it is
cracked. Request a replacement from Elecraft.

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

Hi all,
I have the same problem. Anytime I change something, like band, power or a
number of other things, power starts up ridiculously low and creeps *very*
slowly
Get the 1.8 if you work ssb. Experiment with shifting the pass band for
maximum clarity. Youll be amazed just how narrow it can get and still be
understandable.

I find it helpful to tune from a high pitch to a low pitch. That way, I
hear the signal coming rather than have it sneak up behind me and tune
past the optimum tone. That means, I have to shift the Reverse function
depending on whether I am tuning up or down in frequency.
