The KX3 will definitely cut way back on power out if it sees a
mismatched load or a line voltage drop. I use my KX3 to tune a
screwdriver antenna. I normally set the power out to about 3W, but
sometimes forget and leave it at 15W. When matched, it puts out a full
15W. When it sees a high SWR, it will cut back to a few watts. I have
the tuner bypassed. The KX3 will show you what it sees as the SWR as
well as the power, and you can also look at reflected power on the
Bird. Hopefully those will tell you something.
Interesting info, thanks. I'm still baffled at why putting the ATU on
auto and tapping to tune would cause the wattmeter to show TPO at 25 watts.
