[Elecraft] [K3] TUNE function + external tuner + high SWR power reduction?

2011-09-20 Thread Tim Tucker
I just got an MFJ-998 auto tuner to work with the K3. I'm using the K3 TUNE function (15 watts) to trigger the auto tune function on the MFJ-998. Generally, it works fine. However, if I try to tune up to a very non-resonant band on my antennas where the SWR is very high, the K3 reduces the power
