It's worth noting that the K1 continues transmitting after the tuning is
complete, until the TUNE process is manually exited.

Built and operate the Elecraft K1 transceiver S/N 1112. It has always
functioned perfectly in the past, QRPDXCC etc. I had not used the K1 for
sometime and recently tried to fire it up. The unit includes the KAT1 ATU.
Have been trying to follow the KAT1 operating Instruction Assembly and
Dick,
First make certain the ATU menu parameter is set to "tun".
Then hold both the buttons in the upper right of the front panel
together to initiate a TUNE.
If the KAT1 already has a tuning solution in place, the process will go
quickly and you may have to listen closely to hear relays

Hi Ed:
I don't have a K1, but I agree with everything Don said.
Your situation sounds a bit strange
Hello: I have noticed that my k1 (with the kat1) seems to have difficulty
obtaining a low SWR with most of my antenna efforts. Most of the time, it
stays at 4:1 or higher. I have been successful at obtaining 1:1, but it is
kind of hit-or-miss and only works for one band. I live in a
Ed,
The KAT1 (and most other similar tuners) do have a difficult time
matching to a high impedance. So if you stay away from end fed antennas
that are a multiple of a half wavelength long, the KAT1 should be able
to match it. Similarly, extremely low impedances may be difficult to match.
Ed,
One other thing - if your match varies from time to time, look for bad
connections in your antenna system. An intermittent connection can
allow good tuning one time and poor results at another time.

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely try those things, especially for
my attic system. Just a few moments ago, I got rid of my coax feedline
altogether and plugged my antenna wire (long wire

Your situation sounds a bit strange though, because I know a number of
people who have K1's who typically have not problem loading all sorts
