I feel that I have a problem with my W2, when I connect the directional coupler to my K3/100 s/n 05779, it indicates what I think is the correct SWR and Power out, swr 1.1 to 1.2, then the atu brings it back to 1.0 however, when I connect the directional coupler to the output of my KPA500 the W2 shows the SWR as nearly maximum, and the forward power of 20-30 watts; however the SWR indication on the KPA500 shows
only about 1 to 2 SWR leds and the output around 300 watts. I would have thought that having the coupler rated at 2kw it should be connected to the output of the Amplifier. Have I thought wrong again, because what is the point of the W2 only showing the output references of the K3/100. When I have the W2 connected to the K3/100 and the KPA500 in the operating mode the SWR shown on the KPA500 is about2;1 and I am not happy for it being that high, I don't want to hurt my new toys. I would like to know the correct way to connect the W2 so I am sure of the "Correct" Swr Hoping that someone can enlighten me 73's Alan Grant VK4KO ______________________________________________________________ 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
