Noticing something different on 6m.  When the amp keys for a moment the SWR
indicated on the KPA is 2:1 but then a second later it is 1.4:1.  Seems
only happening on 6m.

ATU is doing its job on all bands.  Also to note I am only pushing the amp
to about 125W output.

Almost sounds like you have a connection somewhere on 6 meters that is not
100% and as soon as the RF hits it makes itself solid. Could be anywhere in
the circuit. That's the first thing I would check out.
