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 on =
minute down the next. I tune with rtty and one time it will show on 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.=20
