[Elecraft] SWR question

[Barthold Lichtenbelt]

Hi Don,

I meant if the KAT500 is in bypass mode, what will the SWR meter on the
KPA500 show?

Thanks,
Barthold

Barthold,

No, the KPA500 will see the SWR at the *input* to the KAT500, and that is
what it will display.
The tuner will attempt to create a low SWR when it tunes.
The output side of the KAT500 will be the SWR that is presented by the
antenna feedline.
The KAT500 Utility will show you that bypassed VSWR value even though the
KAT500 is not bypassed.
