    They are all correct. SWR, forward and reflected power are not a constant across a feedline unless it is into a resistive 50 ohm load. If you change the length of the feedline you will see it will change to new values. If you know the SWR on the Antenna side of the tuner it might help explain things a bit more.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
