FW: [Elecraft] KAT1 Question

Fri Mar 29 09:36:01 2002

It's all as designed. The KAT1 shows 1:1 to the rf board, and 4:1 (for =
example) to the BNC jack. The externam meter measures this 4:1 and =
reports it accurately. If you are using low-loss feed, all is well (but =
remove the external meter anyway. It's probably lossy, especially at =
high SWR).

Subject: [Elecraft] KAT1 Question

Just installed the KAT1 on SN#998 K-1.  Calibrated per the manual and =
everything looks good when using dummy load.  The tune up on the antenna =
seems to work fine with SWR around 1.2- 1.4 indicted on the K-1 when =
complete..

Here is my question.. I have an SWR meter in line and the SWR on the =
external meter and the K-1 are substantially different. The external =
meter reads much higher (2-3:1).  (The external meter reads 1:1 with the =
dummy load as does the K-1)

Any thoughts ???
