I have to come hat in hand and eat the proverbial crow [USER=12583]@magnuman[/USER] and [USER=51032]@NightThumper[/USER] as I dont know which of your solutions worked or combo of both ... Out of sheer desperation I installed a THIRD meter after the switch and with some of nighthumpers jumpers and the meter AFTER the switch shows a dead flat match on the VQ3 the ones before the switch show 1.5 ish no idea why nor do I care as the one dedicated to the VQ3 after the switch shows flat. Changed a few more jumpers nothing else changed but why in Gods name a THIRD meter brought down the SWR from 3 to flat I have no idea. Pardon the rambling but extremely tired I've had that antenna lowered and raised at least 70 times .... Trying for weeks.... And somehow its now perfect...
Short of rerouting coax through walls etc I will just leave the 3rd meter where it is.
Hallelujah!!! Now the Chinesium rotor will snap to punish me for my success
