Tuning a Discone and SWR's
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			My SWR's are basically flat on the lower end of the 2m scale, but there is a 
significant jump starting at 146.000 thru 147.999.  Starting at 147.000, 
it's pushing the 3:1 threshold and going over the 3:1 threshold the higher 
in the freq band I go. 
 
I have a discone antenna and would like some suggestions as to tuning 
methods.  From what I know, if the SWR's are high on the 'top' end of the 
range, the main vertical whip needs to be trimmed. 
 
Does that sound right or is there something else I need to check on first? 
 
Thanks.
