I would suggest you may have a cable issue to test first. Try reconnecting the 
connectors.  And if you test at the site.  There are so many variables, we 
humans cannot help with being on site.  Take a few cell photos and then post to 
get help.

Subject: [Elecraft] W2 Sensor issue

I wonder if anyone has seen this before.

I was chasing a problem with high SWR on my 2K HF probe where on the radio, the 
antenna SWR reads 1.3:1 without the SWR probe installed and 2.9:1 with it 
installed.

Yes, I have changed my RG214 jumper cables to a few others.  I even replace the 
probe with a double female couple and the SWR dropped down to what I expected 
(about 1.3:1).

It is only on 6M that it has bad readings.   This is at my remote base, and
as I right this, I should have tested on a dummy load, but that will have to 
happen on my next trip.

So, as I asked before, anyone else see it fail only on 6m?
