[Elecraft] K3 S-Meter

[Gary Gregory]

Greetings,

Correct me if I am wrong, but I would think that once you place anything in
between the K3 and the antenna, the K3 will see this extra piece of
equipment. Whilst all these accessories claim to present 50 Ohms to the
transceiver, they place in the fine print that this is a nominal figure and
not necessary accurate.

If I was using the LP-100 in line device I would expect the K3 to "notice"
it's presence and therefore I would expect some differential between the
LP-100 reading and the K3.

>From the readings posted previously being K3 = 1.1:1 and the LP-100 reading
being 1.04:1 then I think enough said.

The above observation assumes the K3 has the ATU turned OFF.
