Hi Dana, I would check the coax you are using. Or try another coax. Looks like you checked the dummy load. My KX3 did the same thing several months, had a bad fitting on the coax jumper. 73 Jim H K7SSS In a message dated 12/27/2015 4:54:57 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
I have noticed on my KX3 that the SWR indicator gets progressively less accurate on the higher bands. I have the antenna tuner installed, but when I put it on bypass, I see into a 50 ohm dummy load 15m 1.2 12m 1.4 10m 1.5 several, 6m 2.1 I have used two homemade dummy loads and one commercial one, and the readings are repeatable. I have checked all three loads against my antenna analyzer, and all of them show 1.1 or less on all those bands, 6m having the largest SWR of 1.1. Should I be concerned about operating on 6m, given the faulty indicator? Is there some testing I can do, such as removing the antenna tuner and repeating the test? Thanks in advance. -- Dana Browne, AD5VC ______________________________________________________________ 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]
