Galaxy dx55F High SWR and warning light.
Using dummy load or antenna (both of which are at about 1.1 swr) this 55F shows between 2.5-3 swr and the warning light lights up during modulation. It’s only in this radio. Coax is not an issue. I’ve even hooked up directly to the dummy load and the ship Antenna. The higher the carrier, the higher the SWR. Out of the box the carrier is about 12w AM.
I’ve reflowed traces around coils, antenna hookup etc.
There is not much info on these boards...
