Thanks to N3OC's incredible efforts, I now have a decent transmit antenna for 160. When we were checking out the antenna, we noticed that the wattmeter (RF Applications VFD) consistently read SWR lower than the Orion SWR meter, and power lower than the Herc II bar graph.

My setup is this:

Orion --> Herc II --> VFD wattmeter --> 238 Tuner --> individual antennas

In either instance, which is the/reliable one?

Thanks in advance,
