I have a galaxy 959 going to a k40 magnamount on an 05 Titan. no probs, sounds good SWR 1.1:1. When I put my little Texas Star Mod V 100 watter, swr's shoot up to 2.5. Patch cord is good.
Galaxy 959 --> T.S. 100 w. --> k40 swr's are perfect even with the amp inline just as long as it's off. the second I flip the switch swr's bug out. amp is run directly to both battery terminals. was told i should ground the radio & amp together and also ground the amp to the vehicle. would hate to ruin the radio or amp so any help would be appreciated!

getting this reading from swr meter in radio. meter is accurate because i checked the reading (before amp was installed) against paradynamics meter and reading was the same. also something interesting--when i check the swr using radio meter, i dead key and get swr of 2.5 but when i whistle, it swings down to an acceptable swr. this is puzzling : (
