Check SWR without tuner

[JOHN MCBRIDE]

I am the new owner of the Elecraft K3 and there is a lot to learn. The first question is how to check the SWR without the ATU so the antenna can be as close to resonance as possible (other than an external SWR meter)?

Hold the ATU TUNE/ATU switch until it says BYPASS.  That takes the ATU
out of the RF path.  If you don't have SWR on the left of the bottom
line of the S-Meter, hold DISP/METER to switch to it.  Press key, read SWR.
