Did you tune your antenna from resonance to get a 50 ohm load?
I'd rather have a 1.5 and resonant system then a 1:1 non-resonant
system. Notice how little voice power it takes to get the shower
to sing back to you when you hit the right note (frequency). The same
thing happens for receive and will more then make up for the 3% loss.

A dummy load has perfect SWR, too.

Check for a loose, broken or missing bypass disk capacitor, probably
near the mike plug.

If you still can't find it, join the cbtricks Yahoo group and ask there.
