Hi Bill, I recently purchased a powerMaster from arraysolutions and have the same problems.
Readings are different in the Powermaster and in the K3, .3 to .7 in diference. You have some coax loops going from SWR and AMP, so maybe some diference there?. Anyway is not reading the same... 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W K3 #4077 -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Bill Conkling Enviado el: Lunes, 06 de Septiembre de 2010 01:25 a.m. Para: [email protected] Asunto: [Elecraft] K3- SWR accuracy Gang, I have recently built my K3 and have had it on the air about 3 weeks. I started small, with 10 watts, added the PA3 and DVR. My next purchase will be the ATU module. In the meantime, I am using an LDG-200Pro Auto-Tuner. It works great, but I have noticed that especially on 40 meters, I can have the tuner go through a 'tune' cycle, and it will show 1.0:1 SWR, but my K3 shows 1.3 ro 1.7 up to 1.8 to 1 SWR. I recorded a short call response with the DVR and when I play it back, the radio shows SWR of more than 1:1 but the tuner indicates full power and low SWR. Which do I believe? Most other bands are normal, with tuner/radio agreement. But not always, and especially on 40. I tried to manually tune the tuner to 1:1 and usually only took a couple of clicks, but no matter what I did, I could not get it to hold those settings; ie, when I went back to the frequency I 'manually' tuned, and tried to memorize, it tuned again, often only a Memory Tune, but went back to it's settings of 1.3:1. Any ideas? ...bc K3 #4536 (nr4c) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
