Andy,

I have the TW1, and believe it is reasonably accurate, although I've 
never compared its readings with those of another SWR meter.  If 
you're concerned about the meter's accuracy, you should ask someone 
with a meter of known accuracy to check your antenna and see if they 
get the same results.  You might also check your cables to make sure 
one of them hasn't developed a problem such as a short, or a bad 
connection.  Also, check to be sure your ground is adequate.  A bad 
ground is often the cause of poor performance.  Once you've done all 
that, you might contact the antenna manufacturer to see if they can 
offer suggestions.  One more thing: you said 1.6 meters, but did you 
really mean 160 meters?
