[Elecraft] K3 and LDG Tuner question

[Dennis Moore]

I use LDG tuners here with my K3. No interface cable is needed, just the 
RF between the K3 and the LDG. When the LDG senses RF it will start to 
tune. Press and hold XMIT to start the tune process, tap it again when 
the LDG finds a match. I have both a 100 and 600 watt tuner, I always 
reduce the power out from the K3 before tuning although with these 
tuners I suspect it's not really necessary. The K3 reduces power on its 
own when the SWR is too high and will bring it back up by itself when 
the SWR falls below 3:1, so at least you're not slamming the LDG with 
high power when the match is way off.
