Sticking with the Lincoln + external SWR meter + Aerial combination, try this:

Vary the length of the patch lead between the radio and the meter (if you have a selection of patch leads try longer ones and shorter ones).

Similarly, try adding some length to the aerial coax (use one of your patch leads plus a female-female S0239 barrel connector).

You need to change the length of the coax by a metre or more for this to have any appreciable effect.
