I just had a Cobra 29 LTD Classic tuned up and everything is working very well with one exception. The SWR meter function on the radio will not calibrate to set, it will gradually climb up after I hold the transmitt on for a few seconds but will still not reach "set" even with the calibrate knob full to the right. My external SWR bridge calibrates just fine and my match is good. The S meter functions normally RX and TX.
The dk is set a 5 watts with no swing kit. It worked just fine before the tune up, go figure. I rarely use the swr meter on the radio because I have external meters but I would like to see the radio work as it should. I could make another trip
back to the tech but if it is a minor adjustment I would
rather not have to burn the fuel. I also had an echo board installed and that works fine too but something went wrong with the SWR calibration.
Does anyone know what may be causing this?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
