99.9 to 1

[DBellW6AQ]

Getting around to calibrating my power on my K3-10 and no matter what the  
load, dummy or antenna, the reflected power is 99.9 to 1.  Tuner is set to  
Bypass.  What did I do wrong?
 
Thanks in advance, Dave

Maybe you have the wrong antenna selected?  Either select the other
antenna, or move the load to the other antenna connector.

Dave,

Test the coax with your dummy load attached to the far end - remove the
PL-259 from the K3 and measure the resistance between the center
conductor and the shell - if it reads something vastly different than 50
ohms, replace the coax.

OTOH, if you find the resistance is 50 ohms, make certain you have the
PL-259 connected to the selected ANT1 or ANT2 jack.  If the problem
persists, send an email to [hidden email] for further assistance.

73,
