Hi guys
So i scored at the swapmeat today or what i thought was a score.
I got an old Icom IC3200A for 50$
Dual bander single receive
Nice little unit
Hooked it up and all seemed well
Made a contact on 2 meters and everything seemed well.
However a freind of mine stuck it on his SWR meter for me
Here is what i got
like 1.5 on 2 meters
and for some reason just under 3 on 70 cm
Should i not use the 440 side? is just under 3 not acceptable?
To celebrate or not celebrate is the question?
Stinks cuz i mainly use 440
Thanks for the input
