It's probably worth noting that KAT500 stores the bypass SWR (VSWRB) for every tuning solution (every bin and every antenna in that bin). The bypass SWR is used to limit the power that can be applied to the tuner without it faulting.
e.g. DM BN00;BIN 31;FR 1810-1819;ADDR 10612; AN3;BYPN;SIDET;CE7;L19;VSWRB 2.40; AN3;BYPN;SIDET;CA0;L10;VSWRB 1.93; AN3;BYPN;SIDET;CFC;L1A;VSWRB 3.10; AN3;BYPN;SIDET;CB4;L1A;VSWRB 2.66; AN3;BYPB;VSWRB 1.00; AN3;BYPN;SIDET;CC6;L18;VSWRB 2.37; " Fault 2 Power Above Design Limit for Antenna SWR Transmitter power exceeds the design limit for the unmatched antenna SWR. This power limit varies with the SWR of the antenna: 600 watts at 10:1 SWR, 1000 watts at 3:1 SWR." My notes say: "The permitted power in watts is 7000 / bypass SWR, constrained between 250 and 1800 watts." The power limit implementation does not appear to depend on the L and C required to achieve a match but it could because those values are known. 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
