When tuning while transmitting, tune to minimum reflected power.  As it 
approaches zero, you may go to maximum sensitivity or low power on the 
meter, but remember to turn it back to high power so you won't peg the 
meter later.  Try this; you may find it works well for you.  It is not 
necessary to get the lowest possible reflected power; get it low enough 
to assure the SWR is under 1.5:1 or 1.3 if you are real fussy.  You will 
spend less time tuning and create less QRM.
