Homer, I had that happen to mine. I was taking a reading on my mobile antenna in the driveway and heard my radio talking without an antenna, looked up and saw a black truck with a 102" whip on the toolbox drive by and figured he must have a healthy mobile to hit nearly full meter with no antenna on the 148.
Then I went back to my test and saw 000 for swr & reactance, etc. Fried it with his RF as the antenna was on the meter when he drove by.
Any idea why yours died?
