>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.
