Hello All,
Maybe someone can clear this up for me? With my radio(s) ON and amp OFF my SWR reads about 1.0 - 1.1 across 40 channels per the built in SWR meter on the radio(s) and the inline SWR meter. Just FYI, I purchased 3 brand new (different types) of inline SWR meters just to be sure. With the radio(s) and amp ON, the inline SWR meter reads about 1.18 to 1.24, which i believe is normal due to the harmonics from the amp. BUT BUT BUT, the SWR meter on the radio(s) read 1.6 - 1.8? Should I care? Should I ignore the built-in meters because the inline meters show a good SWR? This morning I talked to Montego Bay Jamica (From Rhode Island) with no trouble at all. That being said, I'm thinking that I do not have an SWR issue?
Thanks
