I stand corrected. Must have thought that was the answer when I danced around the necessary value on the KAT500 when the KAT3 zeroed right in for a low SWR. Sorry, and thanks for the correction. - Chuck, KE9UW -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KAT500

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500

The reason is that the KAT500 has more coarse component values... the values of capacitance for example are not as fine as on the K3. So the values on the K3 sometimes cannot be duplicated on the KAT500. - Chuck, KE9UW -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com
