I've noticed with my K3S when operating with a SWR of greater than 2.5 :
1 the power output does take a dive downward. While I use an external
tuner, it would make sense to have and use the internal ATU in certain
applications.
While resonant antennas are best, I operate 160M and 80M and due to the
bandwidth, some means getting SWR to reasonable value across the band
sure seems reasonable. I find the internal tuner does and excellent job
resolving a match with these bands.

Ok, based on current funds the purchase at Shelby will most likely be as
listed unless there are further discounts. I've asked and they don't offer a
veteran or masonic discount.
Purchase/Order:
K3S/100-K 100 W Transceiver, Kit
KRX3A-K High Performance Subreceiver for the K3S and K3 Kits
* Already purchased a 400hz filter from a reflector participant.
Other - Dust covers from Rose for Rig and Bencher Key.
Future:
Another 400hz filter
Pair of 200 or 250hz filters* I want to operate the rig for a while to see
what I actually want/need.
KAT3A-K Internal ATU with 2nd Ant. Jack for the K3S and K3 kits ** not
really sure I need this as I only plan to use resonant antenna's, we'll see
how sensitive the rig is. I've been told it will back off on power as SWR
rises.
P3-K Panadapter Kit for the K3S, K3 and other rigs ** for the time being
I'll use an SDR to view the band
Misc filters over time as needed.
LOL, I'll be broke for a while but on the air.
