[ICOM] 746PRO SWR 2m

[Julio Peralta]

Some of the S meters on the new rigs only indicate a relative output and
as far as I can tell have no way to measure output. I know the meter in
the IC-2720 is like that due to having lost the output twice on that
rig. I had only a watt or so coming out of the antenna port and the
power out meter still read full scale. I believe the IC-910H is like
that as well.

I have an 11 elemant yagi. I noticed SWR was up and power out was down
this 
morning. We have freezing fog also. I would imagine the antenna is
covered 
with ice. I am used to strictly FM rigs. They show no indication of SWR.
And 
even though they may fold back I've never seen a relative output meter
show 
it.
