Mobile FT-100D Problem- F/U Solution
Oriiginal posting:
Yaesu FT 100D installed in a Jeep Grand Cherokee with roof mounted 2m/70cm antenna and a mag mount for HamStick monoband antennas. I have HamSticks for 10m, 20m, 40m and 75m. On 10 and 20 m, everything works well. On both 40 and 75m, the transmitter trips on high SWR even though an antenna analyzer shows SWR of 1.3 for both antennas. Folks at HRO say that is typical of Yaesu equipment and have no suggestions. I've emailed Yaesu but have not gotten a response. What worked: Following good suggestions from group, installed ground from transceiver chassis to vehicle body and installed permanent antenna mount with base well grounded and with low loss coax. All works well. Roger Baldwin kg6ras |
