[600MRG] Checking SWR

After finishing my amplifier, I was looking for a way to keep an eye on the SWR.
I found that my old MFJ Versa Tuner II, MFJ-941B, seemed to work on 630 meters.
I’ve been experimenting with it for about a week and it does seem to do a good job showing the relative SWR.
I’ve compared it to the built-in SWR display on the Monitor Sensors transverter and reads the same.
I don’t trust it for actual power output measurements but for monitoring forward and reverse it works fine.
My amp is setup for a meter but I had to order a 500uA meter and the MFJ does fine in the meantime.
I’ve not seen much info on using or modifying existing meters for 630 meters so I thought I’d just throw this out there.
