agin this has probley been asked but?? when setting up a new antenna, should the swr's be set with a dk of 4 watts or a 100 watts?? i have meters capable of either wattage!! in past useage's, ive noticed that if i first set swr at 4 watts, then recalibrate the meters and use a 100 watts, i can usually fine tune the gammas closer to the flat stage?? ive found that the higher wattage i can set the swr's at, the flatter they stay at HIGHER wattages!!! or am i just blowing smoke?? thanks for the input...
