Re: High SWR on VHF / UHF
|
Hi have you tested both antenna sockets, Thanks Dave 2E0DMB
I have a RFC 2-23 RF concepts amp that I wanted to use for 2 Meters with the 817. I have high MAX SWR on 2 Meters on the rig SWR meter.. Thinking it was the amp, I connected straight to my antennas, (2 Meter yagi and a X50 Vertical) both have max SWR on 2 and 440.
I have power out it appears. I tried going directly from the rig thinking might be the Z100 tuner. Still the same. I took my SWR Meter and checked the VHF antennas and they are both around 1:5 to 1.
When I connect to HF, 6 Meters all the way down SWR is good. Faulty SWR meter on 817 or do I have an issue with the rig? The PO meter changes levels when I switch power levels, and ALC seems to adjust fine. I am puzzled. Any ideas?
