Description
Report preparation
- I used the AI-assisted bug report tool (Help → Support → File an Issue)
- I have attached a support bundle or log file
What happened?
It seems to need calibration, It does not report the same as the SWR meter on the control panel. If I set my SWR for 1.5 on the control panel, the cross meter reads 1.1.5
What did you expect?
The meter should at least give the same reading as the one on the control panel. and external SWR meters.
Steps to reproduce
start radio
Press Tune
check SWR reading with other sources.
AetherSDR version
v26.7.3
Radio model & firmware
Flex 6500
Operating system
Linux
OS version and hardware

No source file or test is named. Start by running AetherSDR v26.7.3 on the listed Flex 6500 setup, press Tune, and compare the cross-needle reading with the control-panel and external SWR meters; done means the readings agree for the reported calibration case.
