SCU have nothing to do with SWR. Check your antenna system

Check your antenna system

Ditto! High SWR is either a feedline/antenna problem or the amplifier is distorting. The harmonic frequencies this would produce usually "fool" a SWR meter and cause a high reading. A coax jumper with a poorly-attached shield inside the plug is one possibility.
