Advice please - the ATU BYPASS feature - is it a real bypass leaving no
stray capacitance or inductance in the path (unlike the K2)?
The ATU BYPASS in current firmware adjusts the ATU to cancel out the
stray L/C in the path through the tuner to provide a 50 ohm match.
Early beta firmware simply switched all ATU components to zero. But the
problem was that then the strays from the traces, relays, etc. caused a
residual SWR.
What you may be looking for is a pair of coax relays in the K3! This
does not exist.
