Good Evening,
This is Mark Griffin, KB3Z and I have some questions regarding the SWR readings I get at my tower versus what I get on my K3. I will give the SWR readings that I got at my tower for a 40 meter rotatable dipole at 55 feet.
Tower:
7000 2.2
7025 1.8
7050 1.5
7075 1.3
7100 1.0
7125 1.1
7150 1.3
7175 1.6
7200 2.0
7225 2.2
K3 Readings:
7000 3.5
7025 3.2
7050 2.9
7075 2.6
7100 2.4
7125 2.3
7150 2.4
7175 2.5
7200 2.6
7225 2.9
What would cause such a big difference. The cable run from my antenna switch on the tower to my K3 is only an additional 75 feet. I am using RG-213 cable. Is there anyway that I can test the SWR reading that my K3 is giving me?
