[Elecraft] Re K1 questions

[Paul Huff]

Hi Chris,

I have learned not to trust the K1's power indication during antenna tuning 
with an external tuner.  The reflected power seems to throw off the value 
displayed on the K1.  Try this... after you have tuned for best SWR go into 
the power out menu and bump it up a 10th of a watt and then bump it back 
down a 10th of a watt.  Just temporarily changing this menu setting seems to 
recalibrate the output power display.  It is also my understanding that the 
circuitry that measures the output power is somewhat influenced by the SWR 
and cannot be completely trusted unless it is very close to 1:1.

I actually use my K1 as my main rig.  I'm sure that you will enjoy yours.
