Don The amplifier is a Drake L7
I will test with a ALS1300 to see what happens So what do you think? My L7 is doing something bad? I really dont like to see more than 3 bars in my K3 SWR meter. I tune with the internal tuner and is better, but I dont know if I had something bad that I need to solve Thanks Jorge Enviado desde mi BlackBerry® device de Antel -----Original Message----- From: Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:39:03 To: ab2tc<[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Cc: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - why SWR change with an amplifier He did not say it was a KPA500! Maybe it was some other amplifier that we cannot comment on. If it were the KPA500, I would have asked "what bands". 73, Don W3FPR.
