hmm.. thanks for the insight, I actaully left my radio on for a whole day with antena down and i posted asking if the batteries were damaged, now i am worried that i hurt the tx itself. Is there any way to tell if it is damaged? How much range loss could i have posibly caused?
A high SWR will draw more current.
When I do a range check I keep the TX off,walk away to about 150 feet.
Then just do a fast check with the antenna retracted.
All my transmitters are peaked to full output so I try to be more aware of the SWR.
They supply no papers with the radio gear so maybe a phone call to the factory and ask if the TX has any type of SWR protection built into it
