Jim, Thanks for your query. I'm tuning at less than 10W, KPA amp always in STBY. Sometimes the tuner finds a better match at a little more power (25-75 Watts); someone else mentioned that, too. But again, yesterday, it found the solution (Multiband ladder-fed G5RV at 40') 14Mhz, and everything was fine during the first part of the FT8 QSO, and then the tuner went to a high SWR fault for no apparent reason. I reset it, and it was fine for the rest of the operating session. It doesn't matter what band or what power. Remember, I have two of these doing the same thing. I still bet there are a couple of little reed relays with pitted contacts in the auto tuner. I am sure a lot of us have wondered how they get away with using those in a ~500W high-voltage environment. I will call the tech line, but wondered if any of you on this reflector have had this problem //dave WB7ELY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
