lets say the SWR reading is high, then wat should i do if i oredi bought the SG7900?cut/trimming needed?

by the way, lets say i leave my jelopy(Car) in the parking lot(engine off) and turn ON the rig.then i crossband it with my UHF handy...will it drain off my car battery if there are Rx n Tx all the time?in short...does the rig consume a lot of energy??

first... maybe cut/trimming needed.. for sure la..

second.. don't know la.. that's why i crossband at base station... coverage more wider..
wait for others opinions...

umm i think ah maybe if u output lowere energy wun drain so fast? as in it'll still drain juz matter of fast or slow?

by default all amateur band antennas are designed to work at the range of amateur 144-148 so if u Tx at this range they should always give u a 1:1.5 or a 1:1, but a 1:1 should be around 145, coz thats the center ... if u use it out of the intended range like say 143, maybe gets higher la ... still the ebst way is get a swr meter

and of coz la, it will drain ur batt, when u receive on the car from a repeater, its power consume is at minimal, but when it Tx back to a UHF band to ur handie - depending how much u Tx, say 5w? on a 3db gain antenna, i would say this is sufficient to cover at least 1km radius of ur home ...

minimum drainage la - but still its some sort of drainage going on, what happens if u forget to switch it off for a nite ...
