Oh, I don't have any experience with that monster, but I believe the swr balance is tuned as follows:

There are several SWR meter switch positions on the panel, say 10:1, 5:1, and 2:1. In the 10:1 position if the SWR is less than 10 the meter will be in the green; if more than 10 it will be in the red. Once you get it into the green you'd switch to the 5:1 position and again tune for the green; then the same in the 2:1 position for minimum green reading. Whew!

(Personally, I prefer to leave my own manual SWR meter on Reflected Power. If there are less than a few watts reflected then good enough for govt work, haha... No switching, calibrating, etc.)

Hi Drew,

Looks like like you nailed that one. The meter is clearly visible near the
center of the rack. Before this OT thread is shut down, can you let us know
what an "SWR Balance Meter" is?

Looks like an SWR Balance Meter for an AN/SRT-14 MF/HF transmitter or
associated coupler/tuner:

Hi all,

I figured maybe one of you was, um, experienced enough to recognize this
meter and let me know what piece of equipment it came from.  I found it
in a cache of old broadcast equipment, so it is possible it was part of
an old carrier current transmitter or some other such thing.  This is
the link to the picture:
