Brian, I don't know the exact answer, but there is nothing wrong with a 2:1 SWR since the KPA500 will work into that load easily. However I would expect it to match to 1.2 or better
The range will be more limited at lower frequencies - that is just the way the math works for matching networks although the smallest step size is important at high frequencies. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/30/2012 1:14 PM, Brian Linn wrote: > Does anyone know what the term "matches" means in relation to the phrase > "Matches approx 10:1 SWR at 500-600 W?" > > > > Does it mean: a) that will achieve 1:1 of the antenna is at 10:1, or b) that > will achieve the accepted "match" value of 2:1 when the antenna is at 10:1? > > > > Or, stated another way, what is the original mismatch it can tune down to > where the transmitter will see 2:1 (in the 500-600 W range) ? > > > > Brian KD0HII > > > > > > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > ______________________________________________________________ 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
