But if you: 1. Connect the antenna directly to the K3, ANT1 say, with KAT3 in bypass and note the SWR reading on the K3,
2. Then disconnect the antenna from ANT 1 and instead connect the external SWR indicator to ANT 1 with a length of coax, 3. Then connect the antenna to the external SWR indicator, should you not get a reading on the external indicator that you can properly compare with the one you noted in step 1? If so, what do people find? 73 to all Geoff G3UCK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stewart" <[email protected]> To: "Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft" <[email protected]> Cc: "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]>; "Wayne Burdick" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 6:10 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 SWR Accuracy - reprise > 'bout 2 feet. > > 73 > Stewart > On Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:53:25 -0800, Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft wrote: >> How long is the coax between the LP100 sensor and the K3?
