Didk, you must have something terribly wrong to get this indication, like
connected to the wrong connector or an open coax. I don't remember ever
encountering a situation where my KAT-3 could not find a match. I have never
tried a manual tune in the three years that I have owned the K3. Try connecting
the K3 to your dummy load and see it it will tune. If you have a different
tuner, try it on your L and see if it will work.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3: KAT3 Antenna Tuner Question
Hi Guys,
I have a couple of questions about the KAT3 antenna tuner I'd appreciate
your help with:
1) Where can I find detailed instructions for using the KAT3? Such as,
step by step instructions on how to use the "manual" tuning option.
2) I'm tuning an Inverted L antenna and the initial SWR is higher than
maximum SWR LED level as all lights are lit. (so I have no idea what the
actual SWR is) Is there a way to get an actual SWR or Reflected Power reading
via the KAT3? Yes, I know I should be using an Antenna Analyzer but mine
is in for repair.
Thanks & 73,
Dick- K9OM
