Hi Jack, Thank you for the time and effort you spent on making and reporting measurements on the K3 SWR accuracy. You have saved me from the chore of further investigations.
It is interesting to note the close degree of correlation between the measurements that you made using calibrated high accuracy components, and mine made with more run of the mill items. In addition your results show just what a small effect some of the parasitic effects like the length of coax used and the LP-100 coupler being in circuit have on overall measurement accuracy. It maybe that Wayne can make changes to the firmware to compensate for the KAT3 strays. I would have thought that as the KAT3 is a factory produced item the variation in strays between individual units would be minimal, and therefore a high SWR measurement repeatability could be achieved. 73 Stewart G3RXQ ______________________________________________________________ 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
