Help me understand....You stop keying and the SWR meter swings wildly? Are you talking about the SWR meter on your tuner?

  Hi to all

  I have a problem on my K2/100 that manifests itself only on 80 meters: 

  If I operate QRP at 10 watts, I can match my antenna with a manual tuner, the SWR is very good near 1:1, and the rig operates smoothly.
  But as soon as I switch (via power control) to QRO, without changing the settings on the tuner, the reflected power needle swings wildly as soon as I stop keying, even at only 11 watts. 

  For all other bands (40 up) the rig works fine QRP or QRO.

  I would like to know where to look at.. ?

  Thanks for your help!
