My SWR goes high when installing a switchbox.
What gives? I am installing it so I can switch to a dummy load to tune.
My SWR is like a 1:1 to 1:2. I install this 1000 watt switchbox and goes up to a 1:4 to 1:6
My stuff is installed like this.....
Radio
TVI
Amp
Meter
Switchbox
Antenna
Now my SWR was a little high when I put TVI AFTER amp. I put TVI between radio and amp and brough it way down. |

Did you ground the switch box?
What kind of switch box is it? some of them are not well made.

Its a PDC 100 watter. Seems to be good quality.
No I did not ground it but everything else is except the meter. I might give that a try. |
