K3 S-Meter

Gary Gregory-3
Greetings,

Correct me if I am wrong, but I would think that once you place anything in between the K3 and the antenna, the K3 will see this extra piece of equipment. Whilst all these accessories claim to present 50 Ohms to the transceiver, they place in the fine print that this is a nominal figure and not necessary accurate.

If I was using the LP-100 in line device I would expect the K3 to "notice" it's presence and therefore I would expect some differential between the LP-100 reading and the K3.

From the readings posted previously being K3 = 1.1:1 and the LP-100 reading being 1.04:1 then I think enough said.

The above observation assumes the K3 has the ATU turned OFF.

I just got lost in thought............. It was unfamiliar territory

When you think your old..... you are
When you think your crook..... you are
When you think your bullet proof.....your not
