ANT ERR

jsdroyster
OK, I seem to have fixed the trouble but I don't understand it.

The KX3 screen had shown "ANT ERR" and "PR FLT"  but after I did manual tunes for the KXPA100 this no longer happened.  But why was this needed since the KXPA100 was already on auto tune?  Trying to learn...

Julie,

You may hear from Dick Dievendorff on that condition  He is the firmware
engineer for the KXPA100 and KXAT100.  Dick is quite responsive to
customer's problems similar to yours.  He may even ask for some trace
data to help him in attacking this problem.

There are situations when doing a TUNE where the KXPA100 can fault as
the SWR varies while the tuner is in a tuning cycle.  I know Dick has
been working on some timing and "SWR tolerance" algorithms to handle
this condition smoothly.  However, I don't know the status of the latest
changes.

I would suggest that you download and install the latest KXPA100 beta
firmware to see if that helps.

73,
