[Elecraft] KPA500 input SWR in standby ...a question.

Hi All, Thanks for the messages about the power up LCD blink - it's the way it should be. Now another question: my KPA500 replaces an old AL811. I noticed, when I connected the KPA500 in line, that the K3 SWR meter was giving slightly higher than expected readings with the amp in standby.

Hi David Group, I did find the spec for the input SWR in the manual - it's listed as 1.5:1, so my amp is well within spec. I'm going to forget about it. I guess I'm used to old tube amps with tuned inputs you could adjust on a per band basis. This is my first SS amp, so I'm learning.
