Re: [TenTec] omini 6+ & antenna question

[CATFISHTWO@aol.com]

it sounds like water in the coax.. But take it a step at a time, put a  dummy 
load at the antenna and transmit, if its stable, ya broke the antenna (  
dropping the whip inside to far can break the wire inside the  the  fiberglass 
on 
some types of hamsticks) or you have water in there, if it still  wiggles go 
to the other end of that coax piece and check there.. if it quits  wiggling,  
you have bad coax  , and so on work your way down to the  rig, if you put the 
dummy load on the back of the rig and it still wiggles, ya  gots a bad radio..
 
Dummy load, the best troubleshooting tool  around..
