KAT3 problem

Julius Fazekas n2wn
It may be something I'm missing but I am unable to get
more than 5 watts out in either ATU or Bypass with my
KAT3 installed.

It seems like it tunes and switches properly, just
can't get 100W.

Any help?

Thanks,
Julius

Julius....

I think that is by design that it tunes at 5 watts to get a good match....so it can take the 100 watts into a properly tuned match.  I think the tuner would have an issue at 100 watts at 4:1.  But it doesn't have an issue a 5 watts.

If you go to XMIT.....after you run the tuner....then you will see the 100 watts output.
