Hi Guys,
I'm just back into radio this year and find myself gravitating to the older
gear. I have several "C" pieces along with an L-4B (have to have one of these).
I bought several broken and find a bad resistor or tube through most, however I
have a T-4XC that's giving be problems. I can tune up into a dummy load fine,
however on the G5RV SWR is through the roof. Keep in mind I have an MJF Multi
Port Antenna switch and have my MFJ Antenna Analyzer on a transmitter port and
switch to it to match the antenna through my MN-2000 which feeds into my amp
and meter. I can get a 1:1 match through the antenna tuner with the Analyzer,
flip to one of two radios, my TR-4C, and 4Cw and keep the low SWR. Even my
Yaesu FT-897D is happy with this configuration. When I switch to the T-4XC the
SWR jumps to 5+ to 1!!! (Yes, I've checked the patch cables) Holy Smokes
Batman!!! So into a dummy load it's happy, but when I move to a matched antenna
it goes nuts. I can't even match the T-4XC direct using the tuner and way off
where the analyzer first tuned the antenna.Any pointers would be greatly
appreciated.Thanks guys, manny- wd5bjr
