[Elecraft] [K3] K3 SWR Accuracy - reprise

Hello,

Please, please, does anybody remember the original poster's problem anymore?

The results I got for 2:1 VSWR are as follows:- 

               LP-100           K3 
160         1.99                1.8 
80           1.99                1.8 
60           1.99                1.8 
40           1.95                1.8 
30           1.97                1.6 
20           1.97                1.4 
17           1.97                1.3 
15           1.96                1.2 
12           1.96                1.5 
10           1.96                1.4   


I am repeating. This makes no sense given that he is using a parallel
combination of two dummy loads which results in a 2:1 SWR. I am repeating:
Either there is something wrong with the data or the K3 is faulty. Errors
this large should not occur with properly functioning equipment.
