Re: VHF not sending...
Been outa town for three days and all runs amuck. SWR stands for "Standing Wave Ratio." I think you'll find interpretation where the "s" is signal or sign, but it's all the same for us. As for the length of ant. wire, it doesn't matter for VHF radios as we use them. Now if you need to go longer than 25' there can be signal loss problems. The minimum reccomended lenght is either 3' or 6'.
Can I cut the coax on my VHF antenna? Yes, if you need to. However, you should leave at least three feet of coax. Note that this is not true for all antennas. CB antennas' coax should not be cut.
I copyied that last phrase from the Shakspeare website.
