well the 5000 did have a bad coil as the problem was corrected after replaceing it with the new one that they shipped me and i am not seeing any further problems with it.

the wilson 1000 is about seven years old and hasen't given me a lick of trouble. i am running both antennas on a full sized vehicle through a switchbox, both antennas spaced about 4 feet apart and using a blue rhino antenna switch that leaves the unused portion ungrounded as both antennas are sharing the same ground plane( using the wilson 5000 for ten meter and the 1000 for 11 meter). the input swr between amp and radio never goes above 1.2.1 except when i am seeing this "jump".

i am only seeing this problem during am use from 38 on up, i am not seeing it on ssb using a two tone test to accurately calibrate my swr meter which is a yeasu ys-60. checked the jumper between amp and radio and it is good, i can rule out coax issues as well as i upgraded it not to long ago( LMR240 ultraflex)...just got me stumped
