[Mobile-Portable] Question about HF mobile

[JV]

Brian
    Put the mode in RTTY and key up. How many watts are you showing out?
When you show 70 watts out are you in SSB mode?

Ok all I have another question ABT my HF mobile setup. 
 
I'm about to run out of ideas. 
 
I put a MFJ-269 analyzer on my 40m Hustler antenna the other day, the 
analyzer shows 1.1:1 at 7277, flat SWR but yet I go to transmit and might be

getting 70 watts PEP out. 
 
If I had known HF was this tricky, never would have even attempted to try. 
 
I'm open to suggestions, cause its got me baffled. 
 
If I don't get it going with lower SWR, there will soon be a 706MKII up for 
sale and I'll give up on my idea of HF mobile. 
 
73, 
Brian
