[Elecraft] K2 setting KAT2 to bypass, display SWR

[Don Wilhelm]

Eric,

Please clarify, There are no LEDs on the KAT2, but the external KAT100 
does have LEDs. (The mind does get 'fuzzy' at 4 AM).

In any case, if you are talking about the KAT2, CAL S should show the 
SWR.  If it does not indicate SWR correctly, and the SWR changes with 
the power level, that is an indication that the bridge is not balanced - 
re-do the CAL n procedure to correct.

Pout shows forward power and reflected power.  In this setting, if the 
SWR is other than a perfect 1.0 match, there will be some reflected powr 
and it will vary with the power level.

73,

I am running the K2 into a dummy load through a wattmeter, wattmeter confirms SWR 1-1.  Even in ATU CALS the LEDs on the front panel vary up and down by the power out not the SWR.  WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?  WHY AM I STILL PLAYING WITH MY K2 AT 4AM?
