Hi there. I'm really liking the ATU in my KX3: it is able to solve all the bands on my antenna (a G5RV) to a perfect 1.0-1 match, with the exception of 160 meters. It can only get that down to 7.5-1 (or so).
I'm curious as to what the maximum SWR is, that I can safely transmit at, without damaging the radio. Is there a table anywhere that shows what the maximum acceptable SWR is, for various power levels? Does the radio automatically detect when it's running into trouble, and throttle back the TX power automatically? If so, that would be great. My 15V power supply allows the KX3 to TX at up to 12 watts, and I'm hesitant to try the full 12 watts at such a high SWR. Thanks!
