Ed:
If you have an auto tuner check the power to it. Maybe you have an
intermittent connection. Check all the simple and very simple things before
you get excited.........You'll fine it.....!

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.
