I am having a problem on 17m also.? Have Palstar HF autotuner and it shows SWR of 1.02 and La1k shows the same when I transmit in Standby at 5 watts.? However when I let the button go SWR on LA1K shows SWR of 3.3 and goes into BYPASS SWR.? ?Maybe some capacitance? somewhere kicking back..? I really wish I had not purchased it (La1K).? Autotuner is very good..? Had LA1K failures on some bands early on so now mainly used on 30? 40 and? 80. Asked Palstar for a price on a replacement board but they did not oblige.? ..It is my costliest mistake in the hobby over approx. 30 years.
