I recently added the KAT500 and KPA500 to my K3 station. I have noticed that when the SWR (after tuning) as displayed on the KPA500 is 1.0/1 (or occasionally 1.1/1) no SWR LED lights up on the KAT500. (The green 1.0/1 SWR LED on the KPA500 does light up.)
I have assumed that the 1.2/1 KAT500 SWR LED does not light up is because 1) the KAT500 threshold for the first SWR LED is 1.2/1 and 2) because no tuning action has taken place in these circumstances (due to memorized KAT500 tuning configuration). However, I noticed at the bottom of page 49 of Fred Cady's book on the KAT500 and the KPA500 it says "VSWR is displayed even when the tuner is bypasssed". So, I'm confused. Does no SWR LED light when the SWR is 1.0/1 (or very close to it) because the SWR is below 1.2/1?
