I've had a G5RV for a number of years and have made many contacts with the
help of an outboard tuner---A manual tuner with my Icom 735 and now the computer
controlled tuner with the Icom 706..
I borrowed a friends MFJ antenna analyzer and got the following results---the
antenna for all intents and purposes is not resonate on any ham band...I am
posting the freqs and various SWR readings I got---Anyone have an idea if I
should scrap the G5RV in favor of another antenna? I am limited for real estate
and not interested in a vertical.
Here's the info:
Freq- SWR
3.53 4-1
7.56 1.8-1
14.254 2.3-1
19.560 1.2-1
25.054 2.5-1
31.535 1.2-1
36.000 2.0-1
43.560 2.1-1
47.260 1.6-1
59.300 1.6-1
71.270 1.5-1
86.900 1.6-1
153.600 1.2-1
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
