[Elecraft] Suggestions??

Rich,

I assume you are using the internal ATU.  If so, the external wattmeter 
will not change - it will show the SWR into the antenna, and not at the 
input to the internal ATU.

An ATU does not change the antenna SWR, it only adds L and C in a 
combination that will make the PA transistors in the transmitter 'happy' 
which allows maximum power output.
