Howq did you measure resonance Angel?

Changes in SWR with power level indicate one of three things.

A poorly working  SWR meter.

An arc someplace or a connection or component breaking down.

A rig that is generating harmonics or other spurious signals when 
power is increased.

I'm not sure if a balun would help those problems, unless it was RF 
feedback making the rig oscillate.
