Given the SWR figures quoted, there's nothing wrong with them. The antenna should be useable with any radio.
There is a 'catch' though. If I'm understanding you correctly, you are using the built-in SWR meter of the radio. That's just not exactly the most reliable meter in the world, it's subject to a lot of 'mistakes' for whatever reasons.
I think when you get your new radio that you should do that checking again to see what it thinks about the antenna, that's got to be normal. Go from there.
