[Elecraft] KX3 as an antenna analyser

[Rijk van Harn]

Why switch to fm?

Just hit and hold the tune button for a cw carrier.
Disable the atu for vswr reading.
As we know swr reading requires 1w or more.  Out of band transmitting with
this power setting violate you licence.

If my antenna is out of band I use a cheap swr analyser from vk.

For the posibility we have to wait for the answer from elecraft. But I
think this feature wil not be implemented in the future.
For legal and technical reasons.
