I know that my TW-1 gives useful readings on six meters.  But I don't think
that they are very accurate.  For example, my Heathkit Cantenna dummy load
shows 2.5:1 SWR on six.  Forward power looks to be closer to 50 than to 100
watts, even though the 950 is supposed to be about the same on six as on the
lower bands.  I don't know how accurate a TW-2 would be on six either, but
since it has a band switch it is probably more accurate.  My tri-band yagi
turned out to have a nearly 1:1 SWR on six, according to the 950's SWR meter
read by a sighted person.
