I had noticed the dependence on power level before and thought it odd. I've also noticed that it didn't seem all that accurate compared to an independent meter. Is the reflectometer used for the internal tuner independent form the one used for display? different? If so, that explains why the tuner seems to happily find a match that yields an identical reading to a match using an external tuner. It also explains how we can see an SWR display with and without the tuner installed.

I suppose I'll simply not worry about it!

Actually, the O II SWR sensor was never that accurate anyway, compared to a
good external wattmeter.  The O II SWR reading is also dependent on the
power level, i.e., it reads higher at full output than in the Tune position.
This is not a V3 problem; it's always been there.
