[Elecraft] KAT500 "Bypass SWR"?

[Dick Dievendorff]

Yes, that's the SWR measured with the ATU in bypass.  That's the first
setting we try in a "full search tune".

>From KAT500 Utility Help for the Operate page:

Bypass VSWR

The VSWR measured when the ATU was last in "bypass", an estimate of the
antenna's "untuned" VSWR without any ATU inductors or capacitors.

My KAT500 utility program shows the tuned VSWR, generally a low number, and
it also shows "Bypass SWR". Is that a reading of the feed line SWR without
the tuner in the circuit?
