[Elecraft] [K144XV] SWR indication

[Oliver Johns]

Folks,

Can't seem to find this in the user's manuals.  The K144XV internal 2 meter transverter for the K3 presumably has a 50 ohm output, but no antenna tuner.  I'd like to use one with a commercial antenna that has a "nominal" impedance of 50 ohms, fed by a 30 foot run of LMR400 coax.  I wonder if there is any indication from the K144XV if the SWR is out of line.  What would it do?  Unfortunately, my VNA doesn't reach 2 meters, so I'd be guessing all the way.  Maybe someone has some experience with this?

Thanks and 73,

Oliver Johns
