Wayne (and Jack) I and at least one other user, have noted the K3 with ATU sometimes appears to leave a residual C or L in circuit on 10m when in "bypass" giving lower than expected power into a 50 Ohm load and may give incorrect TX power calibration as a result. Using the ATU to give a good SWR fixed the problem. The residual issue isn't always there, the typical false SWR is 1.5:1 or 1.6:1.
73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 -------------- We'll post additional details soon. Meanwhile, no one need worry about this apparent discrepancy. The ATU is cancelling its own strays, and the SWR bridge is correctly reporting the load presented to the transceiver internally, which is the important thing when matching the rig to its load. 73, Wayne ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
