Tuner Genius SWR Issue

RFord

in Tuner Genius XL

I'm currently running SmartSDR v3.9.19...I just upgraded from SmartSDR v3.9.18.

I upgraded the Tuner Genius to the v1.2.17. The tuner has been reset and I have gone thru the procedure to tune my antennas.

I have noticed the Tuner Genius stand alone software is reading lower SWR than the Tuner Genius Software that is running in the Radio Panel. I tried to retune but there was no difference. See photos.

Has/Is anyone else seeing this issue with their setup?

    I received an answer from Flex concerning my question…this was the response:

    The SWR reading on SmartSDR indicates the radio's SWR reading, not that of the TGXL.

    Just wanted to close this issue out with an explanation…
