Default tuner - feedline - antenna question ?

Thank you.

I think it may be a common mode problem. There is no choke on the
dipole. I will bring it closer to resonance.

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?
