What happens if you transmit through the TW2 with the band on the incorrect setting? I wonder if they switch a tuned circuit. If not, maybe they apply some factor to compensate for power sensitivity. So, if you send 5 watts on 6 meters and the meter is set to 2 meters, it might read higher. And higher yet when set to 1.25 meters. Since the SWR is a ratio, it ought to remain the same regardless of the TW2 band setting. If you plan to experiment, use a 50 ohm load and low power. Hey, don't call me if experimentation damages your TW2. Mark Mark J.
