I mentioned this kind of problem a few years ago with my K3, but did not get a satisfying answer. My SWR fluctuates all the time between 1.5 to 2.5 while my "external" SWR is solid as a rock. Also using the internal tuner.
Oh yea, both my K3's have got the same issue. Must be my personal "influence" :-) After being worried for a couple of month, I dont care anymore. As long as they can hear me and my K3 doesn't go wild or so ..... just go. 73's, Evert PA2KW -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Gary Hawkins Verzonden: maandag 31 maart 2014 19:02 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: [Elecraft] [KX3] Unstable SWR reading On my last two portable outings I've noticed that after a few QSOs I start to get unstable SWR readings, with the radio reporting fluctuating SWR ranging into the 2 and 3's. I'm using a tuned antenna, plus pressing the ATU button results in 1:1 matching. Everything is fine for a while and then the SWR reading go unstable midway through the QSO. Pressing the ATU button seems to resolve the problem for a while but it starts up again. I realize it could be a problem with the cabling or antenna but visual inspection seems to indicate everything is fine and so far I've not been able to replicate the problem on the bench. Has anyone seen this type of problem with the KX3? ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
