Closed topic on V58

Post by Gunner357 »

I saw a topic about high/strange SWR with the V58 Does anyone know what the results were this guy had the exact SWR I did with this antenna......2.0 on ch1, 1.5 on ch20. and 1.3 on ch 40


"The SWR'S are channel 40 1.4, channel 20 1.5, and channel 1 is 2? The question is have I done something wrong or have I missed something since channel 1 is high. Did a ton of experimenting to get these numbers." from that old post......
