Don, When you say The ATU will tune the antenna to an acceptable SWR, you are contradicting yourself, because as you rightly said the tuner does not change the antenna feedpoint swr. So we tune the transceiver to the feedline length feeding the antenna. that feedline length is important

Ok, I was thinking the P3/SVGA drew less current at 15v than 12v, due to the 5/3.3/2.5/2.2 v pwr supply setup requiring less current at 15v input than it does at 14v input or less. I checked the K3 output with a 20 ohm/50w variable rheostat and it trips at 0.6amp or 600mA on my fluke 87.
