Hi Stuart -- While I get the point you are making, and that seems
logical enough ... on 6 meters, my Ten-Tec 1225 meter pegs the farthest
point on the scale, even when using low power.
It seems fine on bands for which it is specified to work.
Thanks for your take on the matter.

Most any SWR meter is useful on 6m as a relative instrument. In SWR
measurement, it does not matter as much what your Absolute SWR is, as
can you find a minimum SWR somewhere in the band? Thus, even if the SWR
magnitude might not be exact, you can get relative readings to identify
what area of the band you can operate with your antenna.
Be aware of 6m having shorter wavelength, the quality and length of coax
jumpers can affect your meter results.
