I've been running a Comet 2x4 SR for about a year now on my mobile rig. I was at the local shop today at lunch and picked up a MFJ-1432 on a whim.
I ran it this afternoon and it seemed to perform satisfactory. Pulled in the driveway tonight and hooked up the SWR meter and I'm reading 4:1.
Put the Comet back on and I'm back down at 1.5:1 on 2M and 1.3:1 on 70cm
I'm running an NMO mount on the roof of my Cherokee and am a bit puzzled by the results.
Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on or did I just get robbed on the antenna? Transceiver is a TM-D710a and the SWR meter is a Jetstream JTWVU
