I’ve made phasing lines for two Arrow antennas. I decided to use my RigExpert to first check SWR on the antennas and found some surprising results. At 435 mhz, which is close to where much of the satellite activity is, I’m seeing 3:1, at 437 mhz it’s 2.4:1 and it’s best reading of 1.3:1 is at 440 mhz. <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I’ve successfully used a single Arrow from my summer QTH for years and it’s measurements are much better than this brand new 2nd Arrow. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I’ve tried adjusting the match and that seems to make no real improvement in terms of lowering the resonant frequency on 70cm. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">There doesn’t seem to be such a problem on the 2 m side.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I really need to get both antennas to have a reasonable and similar SWR readings at 436 mhz before introducing the phasing lines and so far I’m having real trouble making that happen. Any suggestions will be appreciated. And yes I’ve checked to make sure I built the antenna properly with all of the elements in the right places.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Rick, W2JAZ </div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Sent from Gmail Mobile</div>
