Hi all,
I have a strange behavior regarding high SWR:
1) Gemini HF1K switched off
2) Carrier on 40m (2-tone)
=> 1w to 100w ... SWR constant 1 : 1,24 ALL OK
1) Gemini HF1K switched on (bypass mode)
2) Carrier on 40m (2-tone)
=> 1w to ~42w ... SWR constant 1 : 1,24
=> >43w ... SWR starts with 1: 2,5 and goes down to 1 : 1,24
=> >65w ... SWR starts with 1 : 3 and goes down to 1 : 1,24
=> >80w ... SWR starts with 1 : 3, but goes down to 1 : 2,2
This happens with my 4sqare (SWR direction west 1:1,24) and the endfed-wire antenna. 40m-band SWR on endfed-wire is 1:1,3.
If I switch off the Gemini... everything is normal.
Same happens on 80m band (endfed-wire SWR 1:1,55)
The same problem also if I use ANT B on the Gemini, which is connected to a dummyload.
Normaly I use only max 25w, enough to drive the Gemini. Yesterday I wanted to transmit with 100w on the 40m band, and then this things happened.
Any ideas?
I also contacted Roger from TheDXShop.... So I am not sure if its the Amps fault or maybe something wrong on my Anan / Settings.

High SWR with amplifier in line
Re: High SWR with amplifier in line
Helmut, 100% correct. I have the confirmation from Roger.
In standby pass-thru (diode matrix) is max 50w....
