[Elecraft] KPA500 - SWR into K3

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Fred, my K3 reports 1.7:1 into the KPA500 on 10 meters. 6 meters and 12
meters are both 1.4:1. All other bands are 1.1:1 or better. 

That's with the K3's internal tuner in bypass of course.

In 10m contest [CW], I'm seeing 2:1 SWR on the K3 display feeding the
KPA500.  SWR from the antenna to KPA500 is 1.1:1.  Is this normal?
