    Dosy TC-3001-P meter SWR will not adjust to Set Line...?

    two radios, two meters, one meter works fine PDC7???? Sounds like it maybe some CMC on line doubtful though at low level of wattage. Looks like in accurate meter on the dosy, you have basically eliminated about everything there is to check.

    20 meter Delta Loop

    I used to run a pair of co phased delta lops on 17 meters, compared to my yagi which had 3 active elements the receiving station could not tell any difference in signal strength. yagi was at 70 feet AGL the delta loops at 30 feet AGL. got to enjoy the wires a lot of fun to play with.
