[1000mp] Different SWR at SSB and CW

[Sergey]

Douglas
Yes, I still can use my TRCVR.
And I undestand that SWR of my antenna not changing and that SWR meter of Mark V installed before
antenna tuner.
I used 1000MP several years before and never got this problem and as I said before I checked with
my friend that have MP Field.He is getting difference between CW and SSB just 0.1-0.2.
Besides,even I know that my CW reading is correct and I have CW SWR about 1.2 it's still pretty
bother me to see 1.6-1.7 SWR on SSB with some peaks going to 1.8-1.9.
   Let me ask you another question.How do I know that my tuner works right at CW?May be it's read
right at SSB and wrong at CW?
   My Mark V is still under waranty and I think that it may be some issue with SWR reading.
BTW,when I tried dissable the Tuner I have the same results. 
Thanks,Sergey
