[Elecraft] K1 auto tuner

Thu Aug 22 00:05:00 2002

Whatever it finally indicates!  After the autotune cycle is completed, whatever
SWR you see on the LCD is what it is.  If you "forget", then it can be recalled
from memory from the "SWR when last tuned" parameter.  The tuning is done at
1.5 watts (aprox.) and you can't blow up anything even if the VSWR is high!
Don't expect the matching range to be as great as a manual type tuner.  I have
found it to be very superior to the so called "built-in" tuners on the Japanese
sets which have a very narrow range.
Occasionally, I have some funny problems on 15 meters, but on 40/30/20, 
usually no problem, unless you are trying to use a 8' piece of wire or
something equally ridiculous.
73,
