Good Morning, this is Mark Griffin and my call is KB3Z. I am having some real
issues when it comes to getting a reliable SWR reading between my K3 and an
external Wavenode Meter. I hooked up my hexbeam directly to the input Antenna 1
Connector of my K3 and got the following SWR readings in the SSB portion of the
band.
20 Meters:1.1
17 Meters: 1.1
15 Meters: 1.8
12 Meters 2.7
10 Meters:1.4
Yes, I know that 12 meters is high for some reason! But I than hooked up my
antenna to the Wavenode coupler and then to the my Antenna 1 connector and
notice the differences between the K3 and the Wavenode.
K3 Wavenode
20 Meters 1.1 1.6
17 Meters 1.1 1.4
15 Meters 1.8 2.3
12 Meters 2.7 1.9
10 Meters 1.4 1.7
Is anyone else out there experiencing the same issues between their K3 SWR and
an external meter? Perhaps the wavenode coupler isn't good but I am so confused
that I don't know what to do. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Mark
Griffin, KB3Z
