AW: [Elecraft] KPA 100 Power Calibration SWR Question

[Renardy, Martin]

Hallo Jonathan,

I have done the calibration last weekend and I am getting a SWR of 1.0-1 on all bands. I have used the
build in dummy load of my MFJ 949E antenna tuner. I would blame the dummy load too.

You can maybe carefully use a tuned antenna at low power levels just to verify?

Regards

Martin

Betreff: [Elecraft] KPA 100 Power Calibration SWR Question


I have just completed the Power Calibration (R26 andf R27) on my KPA100.  The SWR shows 1.0-1 on 40 and 80M, but then goes up from there.  It is 1.5-1 on 10m and power output as indicated on my external power meter shows power declining as the SWR is increasing.  I am using an MJF 264 dummy load which is not the best.  Any thoughts?  Could I just be seeing a poor load?
