- I have a power/SWR meter in my amplifier (an Expert 2K-FA), as well as an off-board Power Master. Both meters show that the SWR level fluctuates somewhat as the power level changes - getting higher w

- Any ferrite baluns, ununs, chokes on the feedline or at the antenna? At 2K power levels you could be heating them up (or saturating something) and changing the Z. Different frequencies will behave di

- Both meters show that the SWR level fluctuates somewhat as the power level changes - getting higher with more power. for example, the range might bounce around between 1.2 and 1.4 as I talk on sideba

- The feedline goes through fourteen 2.4-inch #31 toroids as it leaves the amp (three turns through seven toroids, then the same thing again). Might seem like a lot, but that's what it took to get RFI

- I did actually see this once when I put in a DC grounding coil on a vertical in a hurry and the VSWR would go haywire at over 100 watts. However, this was a really inadequate coil. The SWR meter on m

- I'd agree with K9YC and N6RK that heating of the choke toroids is not the issue... but your remark about "RFI from 6m" raises a warning flag. A yagi on a tower should never be a particularly tough co
