could be the ground plane Jim, wood dont work
have you checked the SWR of the antenna.....if that aint around the 1.5 - 1 mark it wont be very good.
if its a long way out it could blow the output transistors....done it on mine when i forgot to re-fit the removeable antenna.
just chucked it in the bin and bought another..not worth the hassle finding a radio sparky to fix it.
Hi John
I'm going to check it tomorrow .. it may be a 'no ground plane antenna' .. haven't got a swr meter to check.. .. more stuff to buy .. she will be pleased..
Trouble is, there are so few people out there to give a rig check
