    Antenna works fine. My external swr meter shows 1.3:1 at dead key and rises to 1.4:1 at 100% modulation. It also works fine with my uniden and 1x2 amplifer. It's just the 655 and what it shows on the digital meters on the radio that don't match real world readings.

    Modulating a signal and taking the SWR from that is useless.

    Just key it up, take it from there.

    ALSO I thought I said this before, don't trust the internal meter on the radio, it is there for one reason.
     
    Ougigoug and rabbiporkchop Thank this.

    Yeah my time with my 655 in the last two days really kind of bummed me out. But I still like the way it sounds, and it has a great receiver. Just disappointed in the fact the meters in my radio are so far off.
