Hello All, I've just noticed that the SWR meter on my K3 is reading higher than expected on 10m.
I have 2 different 50 ohm dummy loads. Both have <1.1:1 as measured by my external LP-100A meter and my MFJ 259b AA. If I connect either dummy load directly into the ANT1 connector of the K3 (no connector lead at all or a very short lead between the DL and the K3 ANT1) and read SWR on 10m, it is measured by the K3 as 1.5:1. On 15m, SWR reads 1.4:1 but on 20m and lower bands, the SWR displayed by the K3 accords with the LP-100A external meter (1.1:1). Is this frequency-related phenomenon common to all K3's, or just mine? Is any adjustment possible or am I sweating over nothing. Perhaps this SWR difference is within spec @ 28MHz?? 73, John VK7JB -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-SWR-meter-readings-on-10m-tp6519425p6519425.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
