REFLECTOR: Radio weak and scratchy

[Brett Ferrell]

Rene,

I'd recommend you find someone in the local Ham community/club and have them put and SWR meter on your antennas.  I did this, and I have one antenna that's really good and one that's crap, but once you know where the antenna is really tuned, you can start trying to correct it (or replace it).  I found a guy in my EAA chapter who's a heavy HAM user, and he had a full surplus military radio test rig and could sweep my ILS and nav heads and everything.
