ANTENNA
If an antenna VSWR greater than 3:1 is detected while the radio is
transmitting “
ANTENNA
” will show across the top of the display. The
display will revert back to normal once the transmitter is released, or if
the high VSWR condition is corrected. The radio will still transmit into
the antenna with VSWR conditions greater than 3:1, albeit at reduced
RF output levels. If the “
ANTENNA
” error should appear check the
antenna connection to the radio, the antenna cable, and the antenna
itself for damage.
