That Galaxy is the only one that this happens on. Every other radio sees a slight increase in SWR. I have noticed that a change SWR between the amp and antenna is relative and opposite the SWR between the radio and amp. I checked this after reading a thread by the DB. I hooked a tuner up between the radio and amp. I drop the SWR flat and the SWR between the amp and antenna rose. If I de-tune for higher SWR between the radio and amp, the SWR dropped between the amp and antenna.
I just got the Galaxy back from Bells CB and he told me that he did something to the output impedance of the radio to run with the amp. My SWR between the radio and amp was 1:1 before repair. And between amp and antenna was 1.8:1. Now I am seeing 1.5 between radio and amp and 1.3 between amp and antenna. I am pretty happy with that. Both are safe readings and the pills seem happy and cool.

Hey psycho, don't you have that reversed? Without a powered active peak circuit, they suck at reading peak. I only bought the Dosy because it was what I could afford at the time. I don't trust the peak readings at all. Sometimes I think it is reading high and sometimes I think it is reading low. I hope to get a true peak meter in the near future. I hear good things about the Daiwa 801HP.

[QUOTE="roadrage, post: 443357, member: 21185"] That Galaxy is the only one that this happens on. Every other radio sees a slight increase in SWR. I have noticed that a change SWR between the amp and antenna is relative and opposite the SWR between the radio and amp. I checked this after reading a thread by the DB. I hooked a tuner up between the radio and amp. I drop the SWR flat and the SWR between the amp and antenna rose.
