I must take your word for it. I've heard for years that built in SWR meters are worthless. This is my first radio with one. When I've had an external meter in line, the reading was the same as the radio's. So, the question begs.... If internal meters are not accurate, why do the manufactures bother? Wouldn't they be liable if their internal was reading 1.2, and the final burned up because the actual SWR was 3.5? Just asking questions, for I am certainly no expert.
