  If you are trying to use your CB SWR meter I can see ythe problem.
There is a reason most SWR meters are only rated up to 30 MHZ, and
that there are SWR units advertized fro use on VHF/UHF frequencies.
THEY don't work as well because they are not designed or Calibrated for
VHF readings. I have the Radio Shack unit DESIGNED for 144/440 and don't
have the problems you are talking about.
