    whatever the dosy says for swr, the amp is seeing a higher swr due to interferance with the meter. take one apart and it will be as clear as day,

    pretty much so .
    but if you set up in the beginning using the preferred equipment , you know your values, limitations ,
    and the meters limitations
    the meter is only a monitoring device
