I have a question about those meter readings. On 30.318 MHz it seems correct. If R=86 and X=0 then the SWR should be about 1.5:1 OK fine. Now look at 27.099 MHz. It shows R=38 X=0 and the SWR = 1.0:1. How can it show a perfect match when the impedance ratio is of the order of 1.5:1? Same thing for 27.558 MHz.The SWR should be higher. Some of the readings seem correct while some seem off. Can't be bothered to do the math on it right now.
