Tom, I have my 6M antenna on ANT 2 and whatever HF antenna on ANT 1 all the time. I have never seen the HF wattmeter even wiggle. The lowest power scale I have on the power meter is 100 Watts, though. I just ran a couple tests, running 100 W on 6M and connected various antennas to ANT 1, including a dummy load and an open. No movement. Just a data point...

When I tested it I was horrified when I saw infinity SWR on my W1 power meter. Then I realized the watt meter was not in the 6m feedline and the rig was happily displaying a 1:1 SWR. Hmm, that means there is output on ANT 1 when ANT 2 is selected. I switched the ANT 1 connection to a dummy load and the W1 was showing .1 watt output from ANT1 with a 1.2:1 SWR. Is my Factory rig #806 the only rig with this leakage or is it a known issue? If so is there a fix for it?
