[1000mp] Different SWR at SSB and CW

[Thomas Giella KN4LF]

My FT-1000MP Mark V Field also has different VSWR readings between CW and SSB, no big deal to me.

Also if you have a good BALUN at the feedpoint of the antenna and therefore no current flowing on the outside of the coax braid and a quality VSWR meter then the standing wave will not change with varying placement of the VSWR meter in the coax feedline.
