Quite right Joe, since, as I said, the KAT3 is providing a low SWR between the KAT3 and PA *inside* the K3.

It the KAT3 is in use one can *never* compare the SWR displayed by the K3 and that displayed by an external SWR bridge/wattmeter since there will be an *impedance changing device* (the KAT3) between the K3's SWR detector and the external SWR detector even if the length of coax is zero. 73, ...
