Mobile False swr readings

[ForestRunner98]

The way I read this is you are using the radio for a base station, with a good 25 amp power supply, and a magnet mount antenna. Correct?

I thought that too but OP said they were mobile when I asked. Maybe some pics of the set up.

Yes but i dont understand why i have had to google this for 2 days now when you are 1000 times more experienced than me. So what i found was something called return loss and when you connect anything from the receive to the antenna you get different swr readings and not the true swr. More about this i dont know but how come nobody did explain to me about this mismatch and return loss and how and where to read the true swr? I dont know all the answers yet because i have yet seen anyone come up with a to the point answer, which makes me super annoyed and frustrated.

It's our fault that you haven't fixed it yet? Like we are withholding information from you? Are you serious? Is your name Mark Sherman?

SlackGirl, did you connect the external meter the correct way ? Sometimes in a hurry you may connect it backwards. Make sure you connect the antenna cable to the “ antenna port “ of the meter, and radio jumper to the “ radio port” .

It's our fault for trying to solve a problem with minimal information.

You are in a vehicle?

I had to look, and it says output 13.8v, 20 ampere.

Mobile with a power supply?

Yet jumping in our butts with both feet while holding a cactus and a hatchet? I'm going to leave this one alone, I have a feeling there's going to be more aggrevation than cooperation.
