Hi,
Have you tried to put in a "real SWR-meter" between the rig and the PA, and what
result do you get. My guess is that you have the problem in the PA, as you have 
the same problem with two different driving radios. And that something has 
happend
with the resonant-circuit in the beginning of the PA. I don´t know how the 425 
is 
constructed, but there is normally a type of pi-filter with 50 ohm in and on 
the 
outside  of  the filter it should be the impedance of the cathode if it is a 
grouded grid
construction and the impedance of the grid if it is a grounded cathode 
construction.
Good luck!
