I am having SWR trouble . I have a Galaxy 94HP in a Volvo tractor . I used the bird perch mount with a Wilson 2000 and ran a ground wire from the antenna mount to a good ground for good measure .
I managed to get the SWR to meet in the middle with ch1 being 1.7 and ch40 being 1.8 . This is as good as i can get it . Now if i install my Cobra 29 or Galaxy 33 without changing anything the SWR is 1.2 on ch1 and 1.4 on ch40 . I would like to get the 94 to be below 1.5 as well .
Is there anything in the radio that can cause a higher reading ? I am checking it with an external meter and mic and rf power all the way down if this matters .
Thank you for your input .
