At 27Mhz a wavelength is about 11 metres and a quarter wavelength about 2.75 metres, so a telescopic aerial is going to require some kind of matching arrangement possibly within the set to match it to what I assume is a 50R output you're connecting your power meter to.

Could there be a problem with this matching arrangement?
