resonates at about 7.7 MHz.
On low power the tuner creates a very low SWR.
according to the SWR Watt meter the system
appears to transmit well over 200 watts.
When it is transmitting the SWR reads about 1.1 to 1.


Hi Dan,

The Meter is either not as good as you claim it to be (it doesn't
accurately perform at low power); OR
you have common mode problems (classic).

Do you choke the dipole?
