    swr on laser

    if your not running 10kw get a lower rated gamma or switdh to a beta matching system. what they ware saying is. if your trying to tune your antenna and not checking the swr at teh feedpoint of the antenna. then you need to use electrical 1/2 wave lengths of coax to get a correct reading...

    Galaxy 73v no transmit...junk?

    thats what makes me think something simple came unsoldered. well take it to either of those that you choose. ten bucks sounds ok. since if you let him fix it its taken off the total. they all do that so you dont say what is it and fix it yourself. they radio was fine before so why would it...

    Galaxy 73v no transmit...junk?

    do you have an external meter ? give me a time and say ch 40, and we can test it or i can bring over my meter if you want. sometimes if the radio wasnt laid flat. like in its normal use position. the meter's needle will just get stuck.
