I've got a Diamond SG7900A NMO dual-band antenna mounted on my truck roof, and I'm seeing some strange SWR readings. On 2 meters I'm getting 1.3:1 across the band, but on 70cm it jumps to 2.5:1 at 440 and over 3:1 at 450 MHz. The antenna is center-mounted with good ground plane contact. Using about 15 feet of LMR-240. Anyone seen this before?
