[Elecraft] SWR issue with K3

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

hello

talking about SWR issue, I had a issue that took my attention many moths
ago but since I can solve it, now just I have the concern to know why this
happens

Some times i notice high SWR on the K3 (2.4:1) and normal on my LP100
(1.3:1).

So i turn on the ATU, adjust SWR on the K3 with ATU TUNE and it´s now
normal on the K3 (1.3:1).  then I turn off ATU and SWR remain good in 1.3:1

So why this first reading of 2.4:1? really strange
