I don't believe that it has anything to do with whether or not a match can be
reached. Some SWRs are simply too difficult to measure accurately, even with an
error-corrected network analyzer. For near ideal reactances or very high or
very low SWR, reflection measurements are inappropriate. In other words, if the
impedance is on or near the periphery of a Smith Chart (rho ~ 1) find another
method.

So, I am assuming that unless the KAT500 reaches a tuned SWR value under 1.5:1
(or, whatever threshold I set), the BYPASS SWR is totally meaningless.
