I've noticed that with my K2 the power increases with highter swr. While
adjusting the tuner as the swr goes up the power increases and sometimes
doubles and when going down the power goes down. Just last night, I was
running 5 watts and switched to another antenna. I forgot to tune the antenna
before transmitting and the transmit power went from 5 to 10 watts because,
of the higher swr. I've noticed this before. Is this normal? It seems to
make more sense for the opposite to happen.
Simply another example of mojo. The K2, realizing that since you have more loss
with higher swr, it craftily ups the power to compensate for the loss.
Rumor has it that the K3 has hidden "appendages", that reach out and trim/add to
the antenna should it detect a mismatch.
Elecraft has denied production of the "Bad" K3 which can inflict pain and other
torture on lids you may encounter.
May the Mojo be with you.
