I did reach out today and they are sending a new antenna. So I will test that new one when it arrives, for now just running around with the 6db on. If this new one doesn’t work I’ll try a laird one.
I forgot to ask them regarding my 40 watt output. Are they sending you a new one? I don’t have a dummy load for testing, isn’t that the only accurate way to measure power or is through the antenna and wire ok?
