[Elecraft] K3 Hi SWR when sending CW

[Vic K2VCO]

If you have a lot of common-mode current on the coax, this can upset SWR readings, and 
will be worse the more power you run. If there is no balun and the feedline is a multiple 
of 1/2 wl on 12m (the worst case for common-mode currents), then this is probably the reason.
