Elecrafters, please comment on this. Is there a way to calibrate the SWR-Meter? I have a K3 w/o internal Tuner. With a Dummy connected, the SWR readout never is better than 1.1 : 1. Not that this makes any difference but i have seen a readout of 1.0 : 1 on a second K3, also w/o internal tuner. With an external SWR meter connected, while matching my dipole with my homemade tuner, the K3 shows 1.1:1 long before the needle on the external swr-meter settles. In other words, the internal Meter shows good swr, the external meter shows that it is possible to set it even a little better. I ask for your input on this because i run a tube amp and Tuner. The lowest swr possible helps the tuner & amp to stay cool -and the owner. The external Meter is hooked between the K3 and the amp.
