[Antennas] intermittent swr

Mon, 16 Dec 2002 14:01:11 -0800

First test is to replace the feedline with another piece.
I've had several problems that I traced to a bad piece
of coax.  Problem was usually in the way the connector was
installed.  Removed and replaced, and problem cleared up.

Subject: [Antennas] intermittent swr

Wow. I'm stumped. I'm running an  IC 706 mkII g in my mini van with an
outbacker stealth plus on a tri mag mount on top. Everything was hunky dory
until all of a sudden my swr has been very intermittent. Up one minute down
the next. I tune with rtty and one time it will show no swr then infinity.
This has happend on both 80 and 40 and I haven't checked it on other bands
yet but I suspect the same will happen. There seems to be something loose in
the system. I removed the tuner from in line took off the spring and quick
disconnect from the antenna and have checked all connections including the
wander lead and stinger on the antenna. I can't seem to find anything wrong.
It still is very intermittent and squirelly [ if that's a word]. Could there
be something in the radio itself or am I just missing something extremely
simple. This was not a problem until all of a sudden and I can't think of
anything recent that could have happened to the system. Any suggestions or
thoughts would be appreciated.
