I run a magnum s45hp radio ( turned down to 2Wdk and 35Wpep) with 6' rg8x to the dx500v,gives me (80Wdk and 400Wpep)and 12' of rg8x to the antenna, roadtech open coil, mounted on pass side about 8'' from cab and the bottom of the coil is about 3' below the cab.
EVERYTHING is grounded to the frame, as short as it can be.
The swr are at 2.1-2.7 with amp on, but just with radio @2Wdk the meter will not adjust over far enough to test swr.
The radio at 15Wdk and 80Wpep the swr's are about 1.3
WHAT GIVES?
