I am seeing a high SWR on my Omni VI meter. I have three other
wattmeters in line (Daiwa CN-720B, Daiwa CN-101L, and an MFJ
Wattmeter in a tuner--admittedly, not the best, but it does show
SWR right along with the Daiwa's).
At full power out, the Omni SWR meter reads 2:1 into a dummy load.
The other wattmeters are showing 80 watts forward, 0 watts reflected.
When I go to my antenna on 20m CW, I see 1.5:1; on 40m,
with Daiwa showing 1.4:1 I see 1.9:1 on the Omni; on 80m, with
Daiwa showing 1.6:1, I see 3:1 on the Omni.
Any ideas as to what is going on? I would send it to
Ten-Tec, but I don't want to jeopardize my place in line
for the Option 3 mod.
Besides, if it is still here then, I plan to use it on FD later
this month.
Thanks in advance.
