Thanks Robert and Craig.
I got it! In fact, I had it all along. I had been manually resetting ATU
with every band change, not knowing it was doing it for me! I can't tell the
difference between hearing one relay click and numerous relays are clicking
simultaneously -- they sound like one click to
I'm getting the same result as Bob. No matter how I set the threshold, 2,3,
Automatic, etc, I cannot get it to perform as well as the old 1.78 version
which was just amazing.

Well, I have, and found that the lower the threshold, the less stable.
Using the beta version, with THR = 2
I have the same concern as Craig. The recommendation from Robert and Vic
don't work on my K3.
Here's my scheme:
Ant. 1 is a non-resonant dipole. On 20m for example, SWR is 4.5:1. The ATU
brings it to 1:1.
Ant. 2 is a screwdriver vertical on tin roof, adjusted (with ATU bypassed)
to show 1:1.

John,
If the threads of your tap mesh the screw, then the screw is NOT metric.
Metric size is noticeably different. If your tap's diameter also matches,
I'd go for it.

I removed the left side panel to see what's up. So there is a very small gap
due to slight bowing forward of the front panel. Again I could squeeze it
shut with my fingers and re-tighten the nut, but that's not adequate.
Lacking a hex nut, I placed cloth ove

There are so many to choose from that I had to find something really unique.
It has NO moving parts, NO mechanical contacts:

Ed,
I'd be very cautious around Li-Poly batteries. From what I know, they
require a very careful charging program. Most of them have temperature
sensing and a special chip built-in that signals back to the charger. On the
other hand, your panel is very low power so maybe it's OK. I really don't

David,
The 0200 UTC time is evening here, better for most folks in N. America. You
might try starting an Elecraft Euro net. When propagation allows, we can hop

Thanks Jim.
If Icom net seems to be clear (as you imply) by 1800, then we start then on
14.316. Then we have unlimited time.

Jim -- are those other radio forums also on Sundays?
That sounds logical, being a vacant hour in an established watering hole. If
it gets muddy, we can make a move from there.
Is there agreement or disagreement?

Hi Windy - Yes, that is the digital guys "channel",
they keep a digital signal there 7/24.
Moving would be advisable, above 300 might be the best
choice.

Has anyone made a direct comparison to determine if a 2.8 filter produces
noticeably better transmit audio? (like fuller, more natural sound).

I've gotten about 10 big thank-you's for starting this group. The Thursday
evening kick-off had 6 check-ins but lots QRM.
I got favorable responses for having separate K2 and K3 groups, so those

I've gotten favorable replies from a few people. Bob VE3UK suggested a
frequency for the 40m net. I inserted it in the schedule below.
I propose we start next Monday. Meanwhile, listen around 7.195 MHz in the
evenings and if it sounds like a bad spot, please propose something better.
