[Elecraft] K3 SWR Accuracy - reprise

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Try using a double male connector to put the two SWR sensors right next 
to each other and repeat the measurement.

At the higher freq's, even 2 ft of coax can change the indicated SWR, 
especially when the actual SWR is 1.9:1 like yours. I regularly see this 
when driving an amplifier with a non 1:1 SWR with any of my rigs.
