Don, I am confused about where your sensor is. In one paragraph, you say the sensor is "between my antenna tuner and amp" further down you say the sensor is "after the tuner and before the amp"
So, do you have the sensor at the output of your driver and before the input of your amplifier, or is the sensor at the output of your amplifier and before the input to your tuner? One thing is to be indicated by that flickering of SWR is that something is changing characteristics with power variation. But with the confusion of your sensor location it is difficult to say whether that is at the amp input, the tuner input or the antenna system. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/2/2012 8:34 AM, gold...@charter.net wrote: > I have been using my W2 for about a week now and I am trying to > understand why it is doing what it is doing. > > Basically I can get my SWR reading tuned in fine using normal tuning > procedures and then turn on the amp and whistle in it and the SWR > changes very little. > > However when I go to TX using phone it bounces all over the place and > goes signficanlty higher than I would expect.
