I am back!!

Hi guys. I am sure some of you remember me, I was very busy over the last few months which left no time for the radio or this forum. This morning I fired my radio up, to find to my knowledge, my jumper was bad. When I key up with my swr meter in line my rf meter on the radio moves just a little bit and the swr warning light comes on. The external swr meter shows a 1.8:1 If I take the meter out of line includeing the jumper I have a 1.5:1 on the radio and the meter moves fine, also the swr warning light goes off. My next question is if the jumper is bad where could I buy quality coax for a resonable price. I forgot to add I am using a galaxy 2547 and the coax wouldn't see over a couple of hundred watts.

Are you wanting to buy coax in bulk or just jumper lengths?

if you only have the radios built in meter for vswr testing now id suggest getting a external one

I do have an external radio shack swr meter but I can't use it to test my swr because my jumper is bad. Also I am just wanting a 3 foot jumper.
