Hi list.
I have an SWR problem.
Let me describe my set up first.
I am using A Kenwood TS-430 going into a Heathkit SB-220.
The SB-220 goes into my TW-1 Talking meter.
The meter goes into my MFJ versa tuner, and the tuner goes into A Cushcraft 
R7.
I can Tune the SWR down to 1.0 to 1, wait 5 minutes and it's up to 2.9 to 1.
Wait another 5 minutes and it's down to something like 1.4 to 1.
All with out changing anything.
Could it be bad coax?
It really gets bad when it gets windy.
Thanks in advance for any help.
