Q # 1: My homebrewed single 3-500 tube linear has no tuned imput circuit. When I drive it with my K2, the K2 is working into about 3:1 swr, and indicates HI REF, but seems to suffer no harm. Is that too high an SWR, and does this condition lower the quality/purity of the transmitted signal?? Will it do harm to the K2?
Q # 2: If I used an Elecraft antenna tuner, would it resolve the problem and lower the fig to 1:1?? Or does the tuner only work with antennas at the other end? Q# 3: Any idea how the tuner in the Icom Pro 3 would handle the same situation? Still having lots of fun with the K2 after 2 yrs. Tnx, N4YM (K2 #4758) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
