[Elecraft] K3 - SWR on Tx Gain Calibration

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

Interesting, Geoff. Could it be that, since my 6m antenna array is resonant 
and shows 1:1 SWR both on the K3 and on an external power meter, and both 
BEFORE and AFTER I recently installed the KAT3 tuner, maybe the KAT3 doesn't 
actually see any difference in matching requirements between AUTO and BYPASS 
and so therefore doesn't need to switch anything? Nothing to complain about, 
everything works great here on 6m, but it's curious that I don't hear 
anything switching. I'll bet it has to do with the fact that my antenna load 
is flat. Thanks to the MFJ-259B for that. :-)
