[TenTec] Jupiter SWR Read out

[Bill Brannick]

I suspect this may have been discussed here before and, if so, my apologies.

I have been using a Palstar AT1-KM for several months,. It is, by all 
accounts a very good antenna tuner...

That being said, I have experienced on quite a few occasions where in, 
if I tune for a 1:1 SWR indication on the tuner, I observe that the 
Jupiter's digital read-out is showing perhaps, a 1.3:1 readout. 
Conversly if I tune for a !:1 indication on the Jupiter the tuner shows 
that same 1.3:1 indication.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with a 1.3:1 SWR. I am just wondering 
why I get the "disagreements" between the Jupiter and Palstar.  I also 
have read that you should always tune to satisfy the rig and not the SWR 
meter on the tuner.... BUT since the Jupiter is much more a CPU 
surrounded by the essential radio components, I wonder how infallible 
that digital read out is.
