Interesting.  I've had my WARC-7 for about 4 years now and had an  identical 
story, except it was/is 17m, 12m.  I dealt with F12 by phone for  weeks, 
changing numerous things, including my coax - and adding several feet  (forgot 
numbers), and NEVER got 17m to be under 2.1:1.  I simply gave  up, and must use 
a 
tuner 17.  No idea what the problem is, but it was never  resolved.

Jose  & Tim,
Please post what the fix turns out to be on the 12 Mtr  problems.  I was just 
about ready to order a WARC-7, but seeing a  couple of new ones having the 
same problem, not sure I should order just  yet.

Good Luck - 73,
Tim - N3XX
