[Elecraft] Very happy with KAT100! But one little question...

[Vic Rosenthal]

Now that I understand it, I am REALLY happy with my KAT100.  What I especially
like is the way it stores the settings for eaach band AND antenna.  For example,
I have an R7 vertical for all bands 40-10 and a 20/15/10 quad.  Since the K2
remembers which antenna is selected for each band, it automatically chooses the
quad on 20/15/10.  But the KAT100 will also tune the quad on 30, 17 and 12
meters, and on 12 the quad usually outperforms the vertical (although the
directivity is offset by 90 degrees).  The KAT100 lets me switch bands without
worrying about switching antennas but still lets me try either antenna on any
band instantly!

My little question:  I put my RF Applications VFD swr/power meter in line
between the K2 and the KAT100.  The VFD tends to show a slightly higher SWR than
the KAT100 on all bands, but on 24 and 28 MHz it shows 1.5:1 while the KAT100
says 1.1:1.  I would like someone with a Bird to try this and see what they
get.  I wonder if there is some slight inaccuracy in the SWR bridge that could
be compensated for (or maybe my VFD is off)?
