In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Ullrich von Bassewitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes Surely this doesn't matter. Once the ATU in the K2 has been tuned once, then it won't attempt to correct for any mismatch (caused by tuning the mag loop) until you press the tune button again. Trev G3ZYY Unfo

No problem. Just use PF1 or PF2 for switching your ATU between active and CALS modes. Takes 2 seconds. Ben Dalfen 4X1BD ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr. Ch

[Elecraft] K2 ATU question

2004-09-14 Thread Ullrich von Bassewitz
I've recently build my K2 (serial 4377) which works great, and I'm very happy with it. Unfortunately, I can only use indoor or very small outdoor antennas, so I'm currently experimenting with mag loops. While doing so, I noticed that ATU use becomes very inconvenient. This is my scenario: I'm usi
