It reads no lower than 8:1 and other parameters are off. Even on a simple dipole I can build with one hand tied behind my back and the other one scratching chiggers. Disagrees with every other SWR bridge I have.
Why? Maybe I dropped it, but dont think that's it...
My guess... poor quality. I have the old 209 also, and it went to the shop with the 259 in Dec. 2014.
This 259 has been under-utilized since then, and now won't read correctly.
Either I save up for a year for something better, or try something that isn't vhf/uhf capable and then save up for a second unit.
