KAT500 Bypass?

[Jim AB3CV]

When the KAT500 is in Bypass are all elements really bypassed?

Or are they bypassed with compensation for the internal paths?

Is there an internal bypass "calibration" required?

Hi,

No compensation is necessary. I have a Ridge Equipment dummy load on one of my ports and it measures 1.02 with an LP-100A in SWR in bypass mode on 10m.

I once did a TDR measurement of the "distance" between the input and
output in bypass mode.
It comes out to be about 18".    Interesting,  I would have expected
much less.
