    The spectrum display would seem to indicate that there maybe more that one frequency coming from the transmitter and if the antenna is not a dummy load then the SWR indication would is caused by the energy on other frequencies. ( Most antennas have low SWR only at the operating frequency.)   Does the spectrum look the same in TUNE vs MOX/DAX?  Does the FLEX SWR  indicator look normal when using a dummy load?  Does the spectrum look the same with a dummy load connected ?

    Jonas, If you have any coax interconnect cables between SWR sensors, depending on frequency, you will see different SWR readings on each meter. Ray , K9DUR , has a SWR sweep program that will use the 6000 as an antenna analyzer for a full band sweep, then you can save each band and email the results to someone if you like. http://k9dur.info/downloads/SWRPlotter6k/SWRPlotter6kSetup.exe Next time you test , use the “Tune” button for a single tone carrier instead of multiple tones over a wider range of frequencies which would effect the readings in the radio. For the most part, the radio is not too sensitive to SWR below 3:1 . 73, James

    NOTE! I had the same spectrum display on transmit once. All those birdies. Did a remove the DC power reset and they went away. Have never come back.
