KAT-100 Calibration Question

Eugene Balinski
All,

   I am in the midst of calibrating my KAT-100 antenna
tuner.   I have it all set up per the manual and have
started the process including setting the tuner to CAL and
running the RF from the K2 "backwards" in to antenna port 1
on the tuner with the dummy load on the tuner radio port.
 Note, the antenna tuner was set up to antenna port 1
before I put it on to CAL.

   My question is:  What should the K2 be indicating for
SWR in this configuration ?  When I press the "TUNE" button
on the K2, the  SWR is showing "Hi SWR" then 9.9:1.   I was
expecting a "pass through" to the dummy load with a 1:1.
 Does the high VSWR on the K2 indicate a problem somewhere,
or should I just continue with the cal ?

Thanks es 73,

Gene K1NR
