While salvaging ground wire out of a used cophase coax; I came across a 3ft. section of wire that was different colors than the rest of the shiny copper braid. It alternated in colors from green {indicating corrosion?}, black,and even a rust/coral color it also had a "waxy" feel. No wonder running a single Wilson 2000 is getting out better than the two did. I had adjusted the swr's the way wilson recommended for co phase.
"Dual trucker installation"
Step4.Temporarily connect an 18'length of Rg/58 coax from the swr meter or radio to one antenna.
tune antenna
repeat on other side
two questions
1. what caused the wire to be so corrupted? visually there were no abrasions on the casing. they did pass thru wing vents;that is the extent of pinch.
2. By tuning the way wilson recommends using a different piece of coax to adjust swr's it seems to have maybe masked the problem of corrupted wire . any suggestions?
