[KAT500] Only ANT1
Locked
 
|
I have a K3S/KPA500/KAT500 setup configured with AUX cables in the Enhanced
configuration. Two antennas are connected to ANT1 and ANT2. The ANT LED is Green on 1 and when the ANT button is pressed will not select the antenna connected to ANT2. I can connect each antenna to ANT1 and each works but I cannot select other than ANT1 with the ANT button. I'm turning on the KAT500 before K3S as indicated but perhaps am missing some configuation option?

Could one or more of the ANT connectors be disabled?

Bret,
Have you tried switching antennas using the KAT500 utility? If that doesn't work, try setting the KAT500 to the factory defaults using the utility. My KAT500 has lost its marbles a couple of times and I find it easier to just set it back to the factory defaults and retune the memories for the two antennas I use it for. Also, you do not need to turn the KAT500 on before you turn on the K3S. That issue was fixed years ago in a K3 (not S) firmware update. I don't remember which one. It was before the K3S and the K3 SYN upgrade came out. You must have an old KAT500 manual, if that is where you got the information you need to turn the tuner on first. Go to the Elecraft website and down load the current KAT500 manual. If that bit of information is still in the current manual, it needs to be deleted.

Yep - ANT1 was the only connection enabled in the Utility. It's a nice
2nd-hand unit and I didn't check that first! Thanks.
