Lowering the J-Pole a few feet away from the supporting limb made a significant difference. Other 2m repeaters seemed unaffected. Other radios seemed unaffected. Once I found an answer, I stopped looking for other solutions, so no, not a full scientific work-up.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Charley</div><div class="">KE4QBW<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 19, 2018, at 2:52 PM, Dennis Wage <<a href="mailto:dwage@dwage.com" class="">dwage@dwage.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">I have 3 UV-5R's</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">All three of them need their own *.img file because they have different firmwares.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">They are all programmed with same channels and settings and all work fairly well for what I need.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">However, believe it or not, one of them WILL NOT work with my J-Pole antenna.
