Hi, I also have this problem that SSB power is low following the use of "TUNE". I don't have the built in tuner. I use the tune ("hold") function to generate 10W CW for my external remote auto-tuner. In the contest I got into the habit of doing a power cycle after tuning (I now see that there

During the WPX SSB contest I have noticed the same low output that others have noticed after ATU TUNE. I just wanted to add one comment. After low output is remedied with TUNE, the firmware seems to remember that fact. That is, when I return to that vicinity after S&P QSOs elsewhere (ATU fl

Sorry guys, you are correct. There is a problem with the ATU function on SSB in ver 3.04. After tuning with the ATU in circuit, the power is much lower on SSB until the TUNE button outputs a full carrier. The ATU isn't normally used here these days as my antennas are resonant. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/10
