I haven't followed this thread very closely, so cut me some slack if I
am covering issues already covered.
When you are making these power measurements, are you using a dummy load
with the internal tuner turned off? Also, if using a TW1, the accuracy of
the TW1 should be in question. Besides the TW1's accuracy being in
question, it may not be linear from 1.8 through 30mHz. Just some thoughts.
