That should read the antenna connections on the back of the KAT500

I noticed that my vswr on the K3 did not match what the KPA500 showed in the
standby mode.
what I found was that I had the 6 mtr ant connected to the ant 3 jack.
I changed it to ant 1 and the vswr was in more in agrement with the K3.
It seems that the distance from the input to ant 3 connector is e
When the KPA500 was keyed up, the K3 VSWR went from 1.2:1 to 1.0:1. Because
the input circuit offered a j0 match, I concluded that the problem had to be
associated with the amplifiers output. In bypass mode, the bypass relay
connected the input directly to the output. I was confident that the

Jack,
I am sorry to hear that you had problems with the twisted pair wire.
Normally twisted pair makes a very effective and self shielding
transmission line, even at 6 meters.
The characteristic impedance does depend on the diameter of the
conductors and the thickness of the insulation separat
Does anyone have this problem?
I was having problems on the low end of 6 meters. VSWR was all over the
place! The K3 would always measure a 1.2 :1, the KPA500 measured 1.5 to one
and the KAT500 wouldn't match my 6 meter beam. I agree that there was a
problem with my Hygain 66DX6 but even on my
5 matches
