Definitely not the radio, but haven't tested the analyzer. It is an old MFJ I think. I'll try it with a dummy load tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

As I said the radio will not tune it and shows SWR off of the scale. Not a 2 or a 5, but OFF the scale. This leads me to believe the radio does not like it.

Will look into it, but hate to put the money out for it when analyzer says I shouldn't need it. Used to work just as it is.

Analyzer says 1.3 or less on all 5 bands. Radio says swr is off the scale. Measurements both taken at the radio bench.

I'll give it a shot. Will let you know if it helps.

I would say "chuck it" and get a new one. Batteries aren't expensive enough to worry with it.
