[Elecraft] K3 false SWR indication with SSB

2014-08-19 Thread Mark N2QT via Elecraft
My k3 flashes a higher swr indication with ssb voice peaks than with a steady carrier. If using an antenna with 1:1 SWR the bar graph flashes the first segment. If swr is 1.5:1 all the segments illuminate on voice peaks, as if swr was greater than 3:1. To reduce the uncertainty introduced
