Muahhh, We just had the same problem. Took out the antenna, jumper to the antenna from 1 5/8 hardline, and arrestor.
System showed good vswr and worked pretty good. We did suffer damage to the RF Final PA. At 50 watts no problem, but when the PA was fixed it would cut back to about 100 watts out from 250 watts. Thought we were going to need to replaced the 1 5/8 hardline. Did a little more checking and found an ARC on the inside of the coax connector attached to the arrestor. Cut back 1" on the hardline, installed a new connector, all is working very well. Full power out, and 1.13:1 VSWR. I hope this helps.
