On the internet, no one can hear you modulate.

It was fixed by a new cable between the SWR and radio. Now reads correctly
around 2 on channel 19. Thanks for all the hints and suggestions!

Got a SWR meter and trying to test the radio, do as instructions from web,
set switch, adjust to cal mark, change switch etc, no matter what I do
it's
no where near 1:1 always over in the red still?? WTF? Could it be the
radio,
purchased off EBay and of course it was new!

You should be able to get below "2" on channel 19 if your antenna is
properly grounded. What is your ratio on channels 1 and 40?

Hmm.. Sounds like you still have a way to go.
Is this an unusual antenna?
2-1 is still a bit high.
