-Been trying to use the ATX,(connected to the rear coax with Radio Shack
adaptors) connector of the 817 on the beach in SC.
Yesterday, worked Brazil on 10m, but still get several SWR bars (4 or5)
regardless of the pin position, antenna height, and length of couterpoise
(cut to their specs). That is, with the usual specs per Waters and Stanton
instructions, get HSWR readings, so I've been experimenting.
-Has anyone else had this problem? Does this mean the ATX is bad (the base
of the whip will spin around on the BNC connector)?
-Thanks in advance,
Bob K4RLC (portable in South Carolina)
