Hello: I just bought an AA-54 RigExperts analyzer. I am tuning a Buddipole which I use with my K3 (25+ countries and counting).
The RigExpert says my SWR is 1:2.5 at 14.200Mhz. I also scan the SWR curve with it and I see that I am 1:3 or lower a couple of 100hz around the 14.200 center frequency. I hook my feedline up to my K3, put the KAT3 on bypass, set VFOA to 14.205Mhz and ask if the frequency is in use. I immediately see "HI SWR" on it. I can definitely use the KAT3 to tune out any reactance and my SWR/RF look reasonable (I hit 100on the RF Scale and the SWR meter doesn't go above 2). What am I missing here? I am trying to compare the SWR meter on the K3 against what the RigExperts claims as a learning exercise (1.5 month old ham here). 73 -aps ______________________________________________________________ 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
