[Elecraft] SWR question

[Don Wilhelm]

Barthold,

If the KAT500 is in bypass you should see a similar SWR indicated on 
both the KAT500 and the KPA500.
They may not be exactly the same due to component tolerances in the 
wattmeters.

I am not sure what your goal is in asking that question.  If it is a 
quick check on your antenna system, then that indication should be adequate.
If you really want to know the SWR on the feedline with greater 
accuracy, measure it with an antenna analyzer or put the Elecraft W2 
Wattmeter in-line.
