Re: Cobra 75 WXST and Bandi Mount Install
Ok, it’s always something. Tuning the antenna with the ASTATIC PDC1 SWR & power meter. Under SWR measurement # 3 says to” Key the transmitter and adjust the SWR adjustment control for a full scale deflection to the SWR mark on the meter”
On the actual meter itself the SWR is dead center and the word SET is all the way to the left. When I set it to SWR then swicth to REF and key the mic, channels 1 and 40’s readings are way below 1.5 and channel 19 is dead 1. If I set the SWR to the SET position channels 1 is 1.5 & 40 is 1.7, 19 is still 1.
Which setting is correct?
Does the box that the handheld unit attaches to have to be ground? I've just got it under the passenger seat not bolted down.
