Mr. Mike, Be sure you have the KAT3 internal ATU "enabled" and not bypassed, be sure the proper antenna is selected (ANT 1 or ANT 2) for your random wire, and press (momentary) the ATU TUNE button. The relays will clatter a bit, and you'll see the displayed SWR ratcheting down

Not so. TUNE produces a tuning signal, power set by the user. Used for many things eg. tuning linear, external ATU. ATU TUNE works with internal ATU. XMIT puts the K3 into TX without any output until you either key or apply audio, be it speech or audio output from the PC. Regards, Mike
