is your mic gain too high?

is the shielding properly set on each connector of the pl259?

tune your antenna with the radio barefoot, take the meter out of line install your amp check every connector (coax) make sure your mic gain is not too high or you will over modulate your linear ( sound fuzzy) check the mic too if its a power mic and enjoy.

most people say: anything higher than 2.0 swr reading, with your amp and it wont last.
