Hi Jeff,
 The day the internal meter started showing me 60 watts is the same time the external 
meters started showing me 125 watts, The rig use to show around 98 watts all the 
time. Any idea whatʼs up?
Are you sure the load has not changed? Different power readings from meters at different distances from the load is a clue that there may be standing waves. Do you get the same indications using a reliable 50 ohm non-inductive termination. Make sure all of the cables you are using are still good, and check it out with a quality termination.
