I had noticed the dependence on power level before and thought it 
odd. I've also noticed that it didn't seem all that accurate compared 
to an independent meter. Is the reflectometer used for the internal 
tuner independent form the one used for display? different? If so, 
that explains why the tuner seems to happily find a match that yields 
an identical reading to a match using an external tuner. It also 
explains how we can see an SWR display with and without the tuner installed.

I suppose I'll simply not worry about it!
