An SWR meter that goes up wildly after releasing the key is a sign of a
possessed meter! It makes no sense. Do you have another tuner you can
experiment with?

Well I spoke about the SWR meter on my MFJ-949E. If I send Cw, when I release
the key, the reflected power needle goes up wildly.. sign of a high SWR...

Help me understand....You stop keying and the SWR meter swings wildly? Are
you talking about the SWR meter on your tuner?

Hi to all
I have a problem on my K2/100 that manifests itself only on 80 meters:
If I operate QRP at 10 watts, I can match my antenna with a manual tuner,
the SWR is very good near 1:1, and the rig operates smoothly.
But as soon as I switch (via power control) to QRO, without changing the
settings on the tuner, the reflected power needle swings wildly as soon as I
stop keying, even at only 11 watts.
For all other bands (40 up) the rig works fine QRP or QRO.
I would like to know where to look at.. ?
Thanks for your help!
