when in the tune mode I get P0.5 and SWR -  changes between 9.9 and sometimes to 1.0 is this normal.

RE: KX1 menu

Mike,

If the SWR is changing, either one of 2 things is happening:

1) Only vaild if you have the internal tuner -- the tuner is tuning and the
SWR should settle down to 1.5 or less after it is finished.

2) If you do not have the tuner and the SWR is changing, you can conclude
that something is changing with the antenna and feedline - the most likely
thing is that you have a loose connection somewhere.

Once the antenna system (including the tuner) is tuned to resonance, you
should see a steady SWR reading.

I'm sure you've already done this, but did you adjust the trimmer pot on the
ATU per the ATU instructions?  That will most definitely make a difference
in the readings you get.
