I can't believe this, I think my POS dirt cheap SWR meter I've relied on for years might be faulty. I tuned up the whole antenna almost a foot short because that was what showed best SWR, then little weird things like this post popped out of the strange occurrences I was experiencing. I didn't think I could rely on my built-in Anytone 5555n SWR meter as it was a bit off from my old meter.... until I tested my trusty old homemade tandem match SWR meter. Found the tandem was giving me the exact same readings as the radios built-in meter, but that cheap dollar CB shop meter wasn't showing the same.
Ugh back out to retune the antenna again. Now I feel like a dunce.
