    ok so here my question i put new 22'' shaft on my wilson 2000 and checked swr they showed on my external swr meter.
    channel 1-meter didn't move
    channel 20- meter moved very little
    channel 40-1:2
    so i've never had swr that low on any set up before and i didn't believe my meter or thought somthing else was wrong but i went and raised my wip up about 1" to se if swr would change and they did.
    ch-1-meter not move
    ch-20-1:2
    ch-40-1:5
    so my question is how likely is it for my swr to be that low as they were the first time i chk'ed them or should i be looking at somthing being wrong ? like i sad never had swr that low just got me thinking somthing may be wrong.

    I would lower the whip back down and see how it does.
    Sounds like it is close to dead on.

    Your test of raising the whip and getting results that you did suggest the meter is working good and you should drop the whip back down a enjoy.

    Sounds like you have a low swr. Great! You can leave it at 1.5. Or lower the whip.
    Your choice. Your radio will run great.
