    Radio swap high swr?

    anytone my anytone was never peaked etc just tuned by me via the menu never inside the radio.My 2950dx was a shop job peak and tune that shows teh higher swr.I also think higher power output may have a effect.

    k40 or sirio p5000

    lets us know if you can do a side by side.Honestly i had a wilson 1000 and my p5000 performs about the same not noticing any huge leaps in performance anything noticable i bet the k40 performs just as well.

    Radio swap high swr?

    Yes like some open spaces give different readings.at a park today i was 1.3 to 1.4 channel 19 a 1.1 but in some places im a 1.0 on 19 1.1 channel 1 and 40.i gotta say i wouldnt want to run a amp with unsteady swr you could be near a pole key it hit a 2.5 and probably do damage.

    Radio swap high swr?

    true yup yup as long as its working.fm im sure you can leave the mic gain up as it doesnt modulate via voice its a steady carrier.fm in my radio also is max power so its a steady signal but having a 1.0 at 19 is great good match.Altho being in a mobile the 2950dx has its issues i dont get...

    Radio swap high swr?

    fm i test in fm full power whats the point in testing in am when u have to adjust mic gain and also low power your not getting a tru reading.You want the reading to reflect your output to let you know what the reading is under operating conditions.
