[1000mp] May be off topic...

[Bill Axelrod]

Adam,

     Thanks for the info.  The Amp actually works with the tuner engaged or 
disengaged.  I get full power.  The turner tunes when engaged.  Just that 
the VSWR reading is wrong and some component(s) are burning.  Even with the 
amp in standby something changes the VSWR.

     For example, with the amp in standby my dummy load reads a 3.4:1 VSWR 
on both the amp's meter and on my transceiver.  When I connect the dummy 
load directly to the xcvr it shows a 1:1.

Thanks again...   Bill
