Wes,
I was being a bit tongue in cheek using the word immaterial.
Of course the input SWR has to be somewhere in the ball park for any
ATU to tune.
Without provoking any further discussion on the subject (which has already
gone on for longer than I expected), all I wanted when starting out was some
correlation (within say 20%) of SWR reading between my LP-100 and K3.
A number of reasons that have been put forward for the differences that I have seen.
I will (when I have time) repeat the measurements to try and identify where the
discrepancies are occurring.
I thank everyone who has contributed to this thread for their comments.
