Hallo Jonathan, I have done the calibration last weekend and I am getting a SWR of 1.0-1 on all bands. I have used the build in dummy load of my MFJ 949E antenna tuner. I would blame the dummy load too.
You can maybe carefully use a tuned antenna at low power levels just to verify?

The SWR shows 1.0-1 on 40 and 80M, but then goes up from there. It is 1.5-1 on 10m and power output as indicated on my external power meter shows power declining as the SWR is increasing. I am using an MJF 264 dummy load which is not the best. Any thoughts? Could I just be seeing a poor load?
