swr

Basic built 4x2SC2879 transistor mobile amp. Started having an issue with the amplifier. My SWR is normally 1.0 on channel 20, as well as 1 through 40, with just the radio on. With the amp on it raises to 1.4. My antenna and power setups are fine. I noticed recently if I keep the mic keyed up...

-small sedan -trimag mount -tram bigcat antenna -lmr400 straight down through roof to radio -best swr i could get out of 3 antennas was 2.0 -2 inches of snow/ice on roof and swr is now flat. This goes against what i am researching, as snow, ice, salt, etc usually raise swr. several of us are...

I have an end-fed HF antenna that is showing high SWR and almost no power out. The radio does perfectly on a dummy load. All of the connectors are good. I have tested the coax. I have checked the antenna wire for breaks. The readings are extreme on all bands. I have tried two different radios. I...

After I put up my new A-99 clone antenna on my 20' of tower and mounted directly on top the tower (no isolation) I have a decent SWR of around 1.15 in the middle of the CB band, and about 1.2 on ch1 and ch40. Though this is great I noticed something very odd.. When my 6' ladder is propped up...
