Default low transmit power, 6 meters, Diamond V2000A
Installed a new Diamond V2000A antenna. Have a Yaesu FT8900R transceiver. Checkout showed 58 watts on 70 cm and 2 meters. However on 6 meters power is only 4 watts. SWR is 1.2 or less on all three bands. Antenna is fed with 65' of LMR 400 cable.

Can this be a problem with the antenna or do I have a radio problem?
