Ian, The SM-4450-NE is 488 to 512. If you program 517 you are out of band for that radio.. The ones I have are the NC 450-470 and two special order NB 420-450 radios. The NB are not available anymore. I know on the ones I have, when you get more than about 1 MHz out of band the PLL will unlock

Doug, If you are measuring the VSWR at the TX Out you will see the VSWR of the cavity and the antenna. If the cavity is not properly tuned you may see a high VSWR. To check this put a dummy load on the antenna port of the cavities. If the VSWR is less than 1.5:1 then you are good. If it is higher
