Do you use the MFJ-259B at the load, or through the line?


Through the line Richard. The way I take the measurements is by
replacing my transceiver with the 259B with the tuner in "bypass"
mode.


you might want to try the mfj reading again at the coax going into the
tuner. the length of the line and the impedance lumps from the relays in
the tuner will transform the impedance going through the tuner even in
bypass mode. while the difference may be small on the low bands it could be
significant on the higher bands.
