I am also having problems with ATU. It takes a while (few seconds to tune) and then either times out or states that no match can be found. But when I transmit the fwd power is around 10 watts and 1 or less reflected and raising drive so the power reads 60 or more watts the reflected reads 1 or 2 watts (or less after adjusting the BigIR). The SWR meter position does not change from 0.0:1.1. However sometimes the radio does say that the antenna did tune properly. Any suggestions? Tom AC5TM Tom Miller 504 715-7185

Now, I am encountering a big issue on Txing : tests on a dummy load when pressing the button tune are providing a 'regular' 10w (setup for tune is 10w) tests on a real antenna (Steppir BigIr) show high VSWR and 30/35w out when depressing the tune button (tests were made on 30 and 20m and the antenna ROS was checked with a ROS and a miniVNA at less than 1:5/1) All inputs are muted and nothing is connected to the Mic connector, VAC has been disabled for the tests , tests on LSB or FM lead to the same results. What I am doing wrong ? 73 Jean-marc F1HDI _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
