When you, quick question for you, on that antenna, Matt, did you change anything when you replaced the radio? Did you change anything else when you did that? Nothing else changed, only the radio, as far as I know. The antenna had a couple weird things. It's full. It folds down. But that, it locked up somehow. So I had to, I took it down and put it in a vise to break it loose. And put some WV in there just to keep it, it kept sticking for some reason. Where I couldn't, I couldn't, it just stream loaded where you pull it up and then you do bend it over. And so I thought maybe that was part of it. I tried unscrewing the individual elements and making sure everything was good with the contacts there and put it back together. And yeah, as far as I know, nothing changed. The antenna had gotten knocked a couple of times by branches. Otherwise, I'm not sure what would have caused the SWR. It changed the circuit. It changed so drastically. Yeah, the other thing is just on one band, you know, that it changed on you. What band was that again? 70 centimeter. I tested 146.55 for the 2 meter. One and a quarter calling is 22 something .5, 222.5 maybe. And then for 70 centimeter, I just tried the national calling of 446 flat.
