After getting my KX3 back from repair (before my next planned contest operation, thanks!), I ran some measurements to both see how great the repairs were and to get a new baseline for future measurements. TX efficiency problem was gone.
However, I'm left to wonder about the accuracy of the internal SWR meter for 50 MHz. Using a microwave dummy load of adequate power rating and just a coaxial adapter, I measured the following: 14 MHz @ 1 W setting VSWR 1.0 to 1 (per KX3) 28 MHz @ 1 W setting VSWR 1.0 to 1 50 MHz @ 1 W setting VSWR 1.5 to 1 50 MHz @ 4 W setting VSWR 1.6 to 1 Not horrible. Not great. It's fine if it's not as accurate on 50 MHz. I just want to know if this is normal. Has anyone else looked at that and can share what they see? Thanks and best regards, Drew n7da ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
