[Antennas] Through Glass Antenna

[David S. McCallum]

HELP>>>I have a IronHorse ATA-270 dual bander antenna mounted on the back
window of my car and I was going to use my MFJ HF/VHF -259B Analyzer to
check it out. With the antenna connected directly to the Anal. no matter
where I check it on 2m or 70cm bands the swr reads 5.0 to 6.0. Put the
Anal. on my J-Pole at the house and all was ok, normal readings on both
bands, 1.3 + 1.5. I have a MFJ-844 inline dual band swr meter and put on
the car and the swr reads 1.2 to 1.3 on both bands. Does any one now if
this Analyzer will not work or give accurate readings on a through glass
antenna?, Mac
