Hi, I am a new subscriber to the list, and I see a lot of unanswered
questions on it, but here goes.
Does anyone have any experience with calibrating the SWR meter in the
FL-2100B??
Mine appears to work okay otherwise, but the SWR reading differs from two
other meters in series with it.
There is not much difference when looking into a 50 ohm load.  But into a
trap-vertical, or my tuner,
the readings are around 2.0 to 2.5:1 when the other meter(s) read < 1.5:1.
If I adjust the tuner so that the FL-2100B shows 1.1 to 1.5, the other
meters go up to about 2.5 and the power
output drops from about 700 - 800 watts down to around 400 or so.
Any help would be appreciated.
