Sorry to persist with this but it does seem odd that everything is OK until you put that meter inline - I know you did say that the radio + external meter behave OK when the aerial is replaced with a dummy load.

I've used 2 different SWR/power meters as my first thought was that one might have been defective; I used a KPO standard 27MHz CB meter, and also my trusty Avair av20 that covers 1.6 - 150 MHz.
I've tested both of these on other rigs & they're in good working order.
There's no need to apologise about the questions, as I really do appreciate you taking time out to get to the root of this problem.
The SWR issue "only" when the external meter is installed is certainly very strange to say the least, and that's the thing I just can't get to grips with.
