    Oh yeah the work car...duh! yeah its good just using as a reference to the way things go for me. As far as the Skipper I got tired of messin with the sweep tubes and traded for the second 667. I wanted a 500 but that is what he had and I went for it.

    Texas Star DX500 and high SWR

    Anyone ever go farther with these amps? Guess my 667V is doing the same thing.

    Just hooked up my other 667 and it works as it is supposed to on my Sigma IV. Guess I will get the amp repaired and stick the beam in the air.

    Yes it was working fine before, but Marconi I just seem to have dumb luck like this on everything I do. For instance I put new heads on my work car and then my temperature gauge started fluctuating, turns out my thermostat took a dump right after I changed the heads. Thats just my luck! I...

    I did tune the antenna without the amp it was just when I hooked it back up when I noticed the problem. Thanks for the heads up guess I will get it looked at, I will see how Bretts 500 turns out.

    In one of your posts you say you had 3 of theses and also your friend has one of yours and has good luck, now you have had 4 and they are junk and I should scrap it. I also think I remember you telling me to scrap my AX144. You say I should buy new, well i dont have that kind of cash laying...

    OK I will try to answer all the questions, I apologize if I miss some or do not give the answer your looking for. Shockwave- the SWR is 1.3 without it. Marconi- my matching pigtail is RG83U @ 6' long , one single piece of coax male on one end and female on the other, about the size of...

    Just went and rechecked with the SWR meter and it is actually 2.5 on 27.205 with the power on with a dead key, but when I turned the mic gain back up and modulated it dropped to 1.2. Go figure.

    Well guys I thought I had it right, the only 2 questions I had was why it changed when I changed coax length which was answered and why does the SWR go up when I apply power. I am not into antenna theory like you guys and I wish I could answer your questions but your over my head a little, I...
