KXAT1 calibration

[k4elv]

I have a question for the group.  I have recently completed the KX1 with the 30/80 board.  The unit is working.  Worked OJ0 last Friday night on 30 meters.  The problem I'm having is with the KXAT1.  The first problem was reading only (---) when installed.  Problem was fixed with a new MCU for the main board.  Now I can access the ATU and it's parameters.  Here's my question.  Following my interpreation of the calibration steps, I tap menu to gain ATU. I rotate the VFO switch to find CAL.  Now my understanding is to hold both Menu and Band while still in CAL to enter TUNE.  If that's correct I have a problem.  I can not access Tune while in CAL.  I can use the VFO to go to TUNE, but that's not using the Menu and Band switches, which I interprate as no longer being in CAL.  Is that correct??  Boy, am I confused.  Any help would be appreciated.  73 Mike K4ELV

Mike,

You are doing the steps correctly - EXCEPT - after you see 'CAL' in the K2
menu, exit the menu by tapping the menu button twice (be certain you get
back to the frequency display).  The ATU will now be locked into the CAL
state.

Then press the MENU and BAND buttons together to enter tune mode - the
display should indicate the power output with the KXAT1 installed (it shows
'tun' with only the base KX1).

Tap any button to exit the TUNE mode.

After you are done with the calibration, go back into the menu and set the
KXAT1 to tun so it will tune the antenna when you press the MENU and BAND
buttons.

73,
