[Elecraft] K3 and Alpha 87A SWR

[Mike Wetzel]

Using the suggested 72" length of coax between my K3 and my 87A the SWR is
one bar on 20 and 15 meters, 2 bars on 40 meters, 3 bars on 160 and 10 but
on 80 meters it is 6+ bars (about 2.5 to 1) which seems quite a  bit high.
I think I have gotten the display of "Hi SWR" at one point.   I have tried
other coax lengths and when 80 was ok then 10 meters was high.  

 

Anyone see the same thing and/or have any solutions/suggestions?

 

Thanks,
