I just finished building a K3 (#4181) and have a question about using the
KAT3.
When I hit the ATU button with the KAT3 enabled, it does its thing for a
second or two and then flashes a SWR value on the display as expected. I
want to operate on 80m with a VERY limited choice of antennas.
My questions are:
1) If the displayed SWR is, say, 4.1:1, does that tell me that the ATU
successfully matched the load and that I can operate the radio without fear
of damage?
2) What does the display indicate when it cannot achieve a reasonable match
and I should not operate the radio?
Thanks for any info on this.
