If I had to choose...the external.
But lengthen or shorten your antenna,. That should give you an idea which ones correct.

what antenna are you using ?, do you have a dummyload to check both meters ?
if the meters read ok you probably have cmc,
from Walt Maxwells "another look at reflections"
" If SWR readings change significantly when moving the bridge a few feet one way or the other in the line, it probably indicates "antenna"current flowing on the outside of the coax, or else an unreliable instrument, or both, but it is not because the SWR is varying with line length"

That 980 swr meter may not be correct. Go with that external. My 980 reads off from the meter I got from you. I trust the MFJ.
These readings are acceptable - but what are you trying to do - what are you up against?
Wilson?
Francis?
NMO versus SO-239 versus Lug to Lug?
Yes. I’m good with the numbers. Not one who goes nits to get a 1:1.
Was just curious of the numbers being reversed at two points 6’ apart. (3’ jumper from radio to amp and another 3’ jumper from the a p to the SWR meter.)
Well, a big thumb up the nose to the HOA on that one, Big Daddy.LOL
No, it’s an Antron 99.
I though that Chameleon kept running all over, changing colors, and hiding out in the back yard.
