I HAVE A 102" WHIP MOUNTED THROUGH THE BUMPER OF MY TRUCK, 18FT COAX GOING TO A COBRA 29 LTD. THE SWR READING IS APPROX 1.5 TO 1 ! BUT WHEN I TALK ON IT THE ANTENNA LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO GET DIM ?? I HAD A K40 4FT FIBERGLASS ON IT BEFORE THE WHIP, SAME SWRS BUT ANTENNA LIGHT NEVER CAME ON BEFORE. I HAVE WIRE BRUSHED ALL THE CONTACT POINTS, USED CONDUCTIVE GREASE ON THE FITTINGS, THAT DIDNT FIX IT, THEN USED ANOTHER TYPE OF ANTI CORRISION GREASE FOR ALUMINUM. STILL ANTENNA LIGHT COMES ON. THE RADIO TALKS GREAT, AND SWRS ARE GREAT !?? ANY IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECIATED . THANKS |

If the radio has been peaked out the red light will come on.But nothing wrong with the radio. There is a pot in the back of the radio VR6 turn it one way or the other till light goes out. They will do that when peaked out. And you said your swr meter said the swrs were ok. |
