What does "results for transmitting are 1" mean? That doesn't make sense. Did the SWR meter deflect at all - enough for you to adjust it for full scale?

SWR readings represent a ratio, so a theoretically "perfect" SWR would be 1:1, and that's the way you have to write it in order for it to make sense. If the pointer goes up to the "3", then it's written 3:1. It CAN'T be lower than 1:1.
