Finally got my first VHF/UHF mobile rig installed in the truck - Yaesu FTM-400XDR with a Diamond NR770HB dual band antenna on a NMO mount. Testing with the antenna in final position showed good 2m SWR but 70cm is reading 2.1:1. Do I need to adjust the whip sections on this antenna model? The manual mentions adjustments but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Also wondering if my coax routing could be affecting the readings - I have about 15 feet of LMR-240 running from the roof mount down to the radio.
