Prolonged antenna exposure to the elements (salt spray,
humidity, corrosion, etc.) or vehicle vibration can cause
degradation in performance. This may be indicated by
a rise in the SWR meter's normal reading. Check the
antenna's condition and the coaxial cable, RF electrical
connections, etc. if a problem is indicated.
