I made a quick, impromptu video of my wide-banded system tonight. No, it's not a faulty meter. I've tried this with about 4 good meters and even with the internal radio meter. I don't know why this turned out the way it did, but I'm not complaining. If I were to go all the way to 1.5:1 I could probably use nearly the entire radio's frequency capabilities. The power cables and coax look a mess, but rest assured I am extremely fussy about quality soldering, etc. Take a look at the vid and let me know what you think.
