[Icom] IC756 SWR meter compared with FC902 or DAIWA CN101

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 14:16:22 +0100

Hi,

I have a IC756 and building an antenna I was comparing the values provided 
by IC756 SWR meter and other meter such as the one that comes with FC902 
Tuner from Yaesu or DAIWA CN101 METER and I see some differences. For 
instance, when IC756 points out 1.5:1 the FC902 is indicating  that the SWR 
is 3:1. I'm quite concerned because I can not trust on the numbers provided 
by IC756 SWR meter and a bad mismatch with the antenna could provoke the 
blowing up of the PA finals.

How could I adjust the SWR meter of the IC756 to be sure that I can trust 
on its values?

Thanks

73s Juan
