I ended up throwing it out but I think I figured it to using a different whip than the one it came with (was using a shorter Wilson whip I cut down for 28.400..but the base of the antenna that came with the sirio is maybe a 32nd thicker at the base than the Wilson and therefore the rubber...
Noticed my swr on 10m slowly climbing out of no where the other day..Running an ft 857d at 100w never did get an swr alarm from the radio but decided to put an external meter on and it was around 4:1 not good. Checked all the fittings, checked the coax, nothing made sure I still had a good...
I hear ya..on a different note this sirio 5k works fairly well on 10m Im waiting on my yaesu 857 to see how well it will do with the sirio until i get my little tarheel..have made some decent contacts on 10 and 11 lsb with it..I appreciate everyone's help
Ive got a yaesu that covers 10 and 12 ..Im kind of looking to unload on some radios Id be interested in working a deal if you would like though thanks.
I have a Galaxy 99v2 for sale 1 month old no scratches or flaws..Bought from Bells cb.

Im sorry I over complicate things on myself sometimes. I guess the nitty gritty question was if I as a tech would be in violation checking swr using AM or FM as I am mode restricted to SSB and CW only..Thanks for your help CK and all.
I meant more down the lines on checking resonance of an antenna without an analyzer...example I have a vertical i want to tune for the middle of my allowed portion of 10 meters.
I received my antenna book and my general manual yesterday have been hitting the books and plan to test soon. My schedule with work has been crazy and I will miss the next few sessions but Im getting there.
I had just been reading on methods of tuning it didnt specify for 10 meters it was just a generalization and the question came to mind being limited in my modes of operation on HF...Let me add to that also..I do plan on upgrading to General it was more curiosity really.
So as a tech i know my band limitations and also mode restrictions. .but I was wondering on one thing in particular. .I know you could tune in cw which is an allowed mode for a tech within that 200khz spectrum..but some suggest tuning in AM mode in the middle of my allowed portion at around...
