[Elecraft] KAT3 L10 burned [likely cause, and what to do]

[Paul Kirley]

I certainly hope that this modified algorithm will not prevent me
from using my inverted vee (fed with ladder line) on some bands.
My trap hasn't fried (a year and a half), and I'd rather replace
it repeatedly--or bypass it--than be forced off some bands.

I'm surprised that it's at the output rather than at the input of
the KAT3.

As a precaution, I will also be modifying the ATU matching algorithm  
so that it catches this case, preventing excessive reflected power  
that could damage the trap.
