 Ensure the BNC antenna plug is not shortened between inner and outer conductor
(Ohmmeter). Resistance 0.0Ω indicates a short inside the antenna connector, while
some 0.6 to 1Ω indicates the antenna cable resistance while an internally (static)
protected antenna is used. A simple rod antenna is tested for low resistive contact
between inner cable conductor and radiator, and outer conductor to counter weight.
 You should possess a reasonable knowledge of antenna installations and the
importance of ground planes before attempting the following: Check the antenna
matching using 50-Ω VSWR meter over the whole frequency range for VSWR less
than 3:1. It may be helpful / necessary to cut slightly the length of the radiator or
counter weight length for optimized antenna efficiency and matching.
 REMEMBER: A good antenna is the best RF amplifier!
