Using K3S -KSAt500 and recommended Elecraft cables - -on17 meters at 18104 I have a KAT500 switch point I cannot move by selecting any cal frequencies. .
Never noticed this until I tried FT4 which is set for 18104 in the WSJT canned freqs and with the auto offset to keep audio clean when it switches TX VFO to 18103.5 the KAT cycles TX -then back on RX -- not needed for ant whatsoever its under 1.2:1 matched. across band .
The 18014 switch point is still there with N1MM and WSJT not loaded - . AUTO or MAN -happens to be ant 2 .(BTW swr is better than 1.2:1 across band with one tuning point. If I train at 18106 on the dummy load - (ANT3) its not there but the swr is under 1.2:1 on DL matched.
Yes I know the K3s/KAT/KPA is supposed to be protecting against high swr during switching - but it doesnt know that until it puts out a Rf pulse.
Bottom line how do I move the 18104 KAT500 switch point ?
Another thing I noticed as I was going across band the 18168 band edge does NOT keep from transmitting above 18168
if you go to 18167..99 it txes -then lift key and go to 18174 or whatever it tx es full power with key down one time,lift key then the band end is functional and no tx.
