Hello All,

I recently assembled and mounted M2 LEO-Pack antenna system. 

Problem: The 2 meter SWR was impacted significantly "after" the antenna was mounted to the boom and phasing lines, coax, and peripheral wiring was secured. (The 70 centimeter side was not impacted.)

I'm confident that adjustments to the shorting bars will bring the antenna back into resonance. 

Question: What's the best way to make the adjustments and perform the tests? Obviously I have both horizontal and vertical entities to adjust. Is there a sequence that I should follow? 

Any input is greatly appreciated. 

Warm wishes for a safe and healthy holiday season. 

Kind Regards best 73s
