Joerg, FWIW, I do not have the KAT3 yet, and I have no SWR troubles with the meter.
Also FWIW, I wonder how your meter will behave into a known good dummy load?

TRX is a factory build version with 100 watt, KAT3 tuner, KXV3A and KDVR3. I use a Elecraft MH-2 microphone. While testing I recognized strange internal SWR meter behavior during SSB operation. The internal SWR bar meter shows wrong SWR if KAT3 is set to bypass. It shows spikes up to SWR 1:3 but my real SWR is about 1:1.5. only. If I press tune button correct SWR is shown on SWR bar meter and in digits on display. Also in CW mode correct values are shown. I am afraid K3 will drop SSB power if SWR bar meter shows SWR of 3. Is this a known issue ?
