[Elecraft] K3/P3/expert 1.3KA

[GMuller885 at aol.com]

I have a question?
I have a K-3/P-3 with a Expert 1.3 k amp. Due to the low swr cut off point  
of the Expert amp (1.7) and the high swr of my antenna (2.3) I am  looking 
for a Antenna Tuner. I have selected a Palstar HF Auto. My question is  what 
will the Expert amp do when the tuner is tuning. I was under the  
impression that since the connection between the K3/P3 and the amp and the tuner  are 
all 50 ohms, and there fore a 1:1 swr the amp  would see a match  of 1:1 
and there would be no reduction in power due to the antenna  mismatch. Is this 
correct.
