Default Strong Local FM Broadcast / MFJ 259b

The manual on the MFJ 259b warns that strong local broadcast band rf
can cause problems with accuracy of the unit. The warning mentions
strong AM broadcast signals. A new tall tower near my house is
emitting a strong FM broadcast signal. When I hooked up my G5RV to the
frequency counter input on my 259b, it immediately locked on at
100.500 MHz. The signal is so strong that I can hear the station at
multiple frequencies when I tune across the FM broadcast band on a
small FM radio. Could this be interferring with my attempts at getting
reliable R-X SWR readings on my G5RV with the 259b?
