[1000mp] Fw: [Yaesu] SWR Meter and FT-1000MP

Mon, 11 Mar 2002 21:33:53 -0000

Hello again,
What a "pile-up"! I received more then 20 e-mails with help, information and
suggestions.
I have tried different cables between radio and external SWR meter and all
time internal SWR meter shows higher (non 1:1) SWR. Even I connect dummy
load directly to MP it is still the same.....
As some of you told, probably the SWR meter in MP is not properly balanced
and the result is non zero SWR. Do you know any way to adjust the SWR meter?

Again thanks for all letters and so nice support. Thanks guys!
