[Elecraft] [K3] RE: K3: SWR meter adjustment

[N0SA]

I have contacted Elecraft support to see what they have to say.
My radio has no internal tuner and I move the coax from device to device so
there is no difference in connections or coax lengths. The coax goes
straight out to the antenna which is a ground mounted vertical fed at the
base with an SGC autotuner.
On all three bands the SWR readings are  very close and low on the K3, the
Icom and Palstar analyzer both read about .5 higher and match closely to
each other.

Hi, 

Do you have the internal antenna tuner option installed?

or my Palstar antenna analyzer. The Icom and the Palstar both read the same

The K3 reads 1.0:1 the others read 1.5:1. 
Is there an adjustment for the K3, or am I just being too critical here?
