I just replaced the input, output relay and fired the unit up and for the first time since Ive owned it, it showed a carrier higher than the exciter wattage! But I noticed the input SWR was almost 5-1 whether the stanby switch was on or not. Well if I bypass the BTL with stanby on and just let the radio go through the amp the SWR fell to 1:1. But the second I turn standby off the amp has 5:1 swr but it still putts out a 400watt carrier! How can I adjust the input swr?

@ BJ radionut:
Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned -

@ ButtFuzz:Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
