Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 "Bypass SWR"?
Yes, that's the SWR measured with the ATU in bypass. That's the first setting we try in a "full search tune". >From KAT500 Utility Help for the Operate page: Bypass VSWR The VSWR measured when the ATU was last in "bypass", an estimate of the antenna's "untuned" VSWR without any ATU inductors or capacitors. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Brian F Wruble Sent: Thursday, June 2, 2016 18:52 To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] KAT500 "Bypass SWR"? My KAT500 utility program shows the tuned VSWR, generally a low number, and it also shows "Bypass SWR". Is that a reading of the feed line SWR without the tuner in the circuit?

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Bypass?
I once did a TDR measurement of the "distance" between the input and output in bypass mode. It comes out to be about 18".Interesting, I would have expected much less. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 8/11/2015 16:55 PM, ab2tc wrote: Hi, No compensation is necessary.
