Hi Bill - Unless you are putting the amplifier remotely out with the tuner, then you really don't so much care what the SWR reading is at the tuner in the coax going to the shack. What you are more interested in is what the amplifier (I assume in your shack) will see looking into the coax going to the tuner/antenna system. You might try putting say 6 feet of coax from your K3 to the W2 sensor and see how the swr looks there (in about the place in the coax the amplifier might be). I suspect there may be some difference in readings. Next step is to determine/understand why. 73 - Mike WA8BXN -------Original Message------- From: Bill K9YEQ Date: 1/27/2012 8:29:05 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [W2] Waterproofing the sensor Fred, I agree with your comments. The only issue is the small spiders and the Damage they can inflict. I lost a trail camera due to spider droppings. Amazing the damage given a few years and the very super small openings they Used. I want the remote to determine SWR at the remote tuner which I use. In the Shack I get a reading which is not the same on the tuner at the remote. I Would like a remote before the tuner so I know what is coming back to the Shack. The K3 can tell me the SWR going out but it does not consider the Coax interaction. The THP HL-2.5Kfx is picky! :-) 73, Bill K9YEQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
