[Elecraft] K3 internal SWR meter

[Richard Fjeld]

"Let's wait for someone who knows how SWR measurement is done in K3 firmware."

I'll add that I asked because I chased a similar problem before I got my K3. Two pieces of good test equipment found no trouble. But the lash-up I was using caused trouble when power was applied.

Richard,

If I use a dummy load or perfect tuned antenna (SWR 1:1.1) the problem is not recognized. 

I think SWR measurement will  done in KAT3 if this unit is installed, even in bypass mode. Maybe this issue is related to users with KAT3 only.  Don, W3FPR assumes it could be a software problem. Let's wait for someone who knows how SWR measurement is done in K3 firmware.
