[Elecraft] KPA1500 SWR meter

[Carl Yaffey]

I have experienced strange SWR indications (high SWR) when the SWR shows 1:1 on the K3S. Note: no ATU in the K3S.

I'm using resonant yagis and the digital SWR meter shows 1.1:1 and doesn't change nor does the SWR indicator on the K3S. It seems the SWR indicator lights are acting independent of the meter on the KPA1500 screen. RF? I have not had any faults or shut downs as a result of the indicated high SWR. The amp operates wonderfully, but the indicator lights are a bit bothersome. Anyone have similar issues?
