Gang,
I have recently built my K3 and have had it on the air about 3 weeks. I started small, with 10 watts, added the PA3 and DVR. My next purchase will be the ATU module. In the meantime, I am using an LDG-200Pro Auto-Tuner. It works great, but I have noticed that especially on 40 meters, I can have the tuner go through a 'tune' cycle, and it will show 1.0:1 SWR, but my K3 shows 1.3 ro 1.7 up to 1.8 to 1 SWR. I recorded a short call response with the DVR and when I play it back, the radio shows SWR of more than 1:1 but the tuner indicates full power and low SWR. Which do I believe? Most other bands are normal, with tuner/radio agreement. But not always, and especially on 40. I tried to manually tune the tuner to 1:1 and usually only took a couple of clicks, but no matter what I did, I could not get it to hold those settings; ie, when I went back to the frequency I 'manually' tuned, and tried to memorize, it tuned again, often only a Memory Tune, but went back to it's settings of 1.3:1. Any ideas? ...bc K3 #4536 (nr4c) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
