I moved the ground off of the battery to the chassis near by, started the truck and I’m getting 1.18 on 16 in low power mode, 5.6w, and 1.48 in high power mode, 14.2w. Pretty consistent across the channels and on the repeater channels I’m seeing 1.00 same wattages. Thanks for the tip. Simple fix! I also tested my antenna mount for ground for giggles, it’s fine. th

I recently installed a midland mxt275 with their whip antenna. The antenna is installed onto a bare steel tab I mounted onto the top of my aluminum roof rack. The radio is wired directly to battery power and ground with a 5A fuse at the battery. Using a surecom sw102 meter, I get 1.01 on channel 16 low power, about 5.6w out. Engine off. With the engine on, SWR jumps to 2.5ish on channel 16 low power, 6w out. Am I missing something?
