I just finished building a K3 (#4181) and have a question about using the KAT3. When I hit the ATU button with the KAT3 enabled, it does its thing for a second or two and then flashes a SWR value on the display as expected. I want to operate on 80m with a VERY limited choice of antennas.
My questions are: 1) If the displayed SWR is, say, 4.1:1, does that tell me that the ATU successfully matched the load and that I can operate the radio without fear of damage? 2) What does the display indicate when it cannot achieve a reasonable match and I should not operate the radio? Thanks for any info on this. 73, Stan, KR7C ______________________________________________________________ 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
