[1000mp] What is Wrong with SWR Meter?

Tue, 04 Jun 2002 17:35:28 -0500

 Hello
Why dont you try removing the external meter and cable and try antenna only to MP. My MP shows some swr on 21Mhz even on DL but I just disregarded. Also try with tuner out of circuit see if this helps. If you have a DL you should have already tried that. 
Good Luck Morris WA4MIT
