[Elecraft] K3 power reduction due to high SWR

[David Stratton]

At what point does the SWR have to rise up to before

the K3/10 output power begins to decrease? 

I have been using a TS-830 which is not bothered by 

SWR up to at least 3:1. I cannot get the tuner now so

will I be forced to run very low power if my SWR is 2

or 3 to 1? What about the K3/100? 

 

My antennas are resonant fan dipoles (80, 40, 20, 17)

fed with 250 feet of 72 ohm cable TV coax.
