Hello Paul,
The tuner in my KX3 used to give me a nice 1:1 SWR at 7.05 MHZ. Now the best match it will give there is about 1.6:1. In the "old days" we were happy with anything under 2:1 but can new rigs like my KX3 tolerate this poorer match? I only run 5-watts CW.
The KX3 should tolerate an SWR of 1.6:1. I have already unintentionally transmitted with my KX3 (5W CW) without antenna and the KX3 is still in good health. The manual says at page 6: "The KX3 reduces power if SWR is high."
