[Elecraft] SWR meter on SSB

I am noticing that my SWR meter flickers a bit during SSB 
transmissions.   I have no indication of RF getting into my signal.   I 
have checked with several folks and they say may audio is great and no 
indication of RF on the audio.   I have RF Detect turned on an I never 
get an error from that on the radio.

Is this just a typical behavior of the meter?

BTW the antenna is a 40m vertical that is about 150' from the radio and 
I have Feedline current chokes on both ends of the coax.   The SWR at 
the base of the antenna is 1.5:1 or better on the entire band.
