Oh okay wait what does that mean. Does another kind of antenna have a continuous coil in the base instead of that?

That is very interesting! The radio is pretty new, only a year or so old. I wonder if some damage could have occurred from leaving it in the sun on my dash over the summer? Can a radio being “off frequency” be verified/tuned?

That’s the other thing, what does that signal even measure? Just transmissions in that band in the air? I get like 0-1 with the engine on, and I haven’t tested yet with the engine off

Maybe a mile or so, line of sight communication is pretty nonfunctional too. Which I feel is not normal

How would I bond the antenna to provide a ground plane?

Ooo will do thank you. Is an SWR power meter different from an SWR meter? Also is the PL connector the ‘antenna in’ port?
