One thing to keep in mind is that you can adjust the matching section (for both bands) on an Arrow. So if it's not where it should be, and you have access to a good analyzer and set the antenna up away from interfering objects, you can retune it to an acceptable SWR.

Folks using a handheld and an Arrow antenna to work the FM satellites: What SWR do you have with that combination? I'm checking to see if everything is working right on my set-up. You may reply off-list if you like.

Thanks!
