One basic rule from the TAX man.........more crap = more problems.
Always has been, always will be.

I wiggled all connections & conections, then I took a small 50ohm
load and inserted it at the few points from the radio thru my TopTen
relay setup 2 radios by two amps to 6 ants ( 5 ants & 1 dummy
load). The culprit was my big palstar auto tuner while off , was NOT
in bypass. With that set properly all is good. Hopefully the only
screwup made while reconfiguring my station.... my stay at home project.
stay safe Jim....

Expeditioners that do lots of portable setups have repeatedly
preached that when anything goes wrong in a radio system to ALWAYS
suspect a bad piece of coax, and usually a bad or poorly installed
connector.
Back in the days when I was doing lots of live recording and sound
reinforcement gigs, it was mic cables. A standard test was to plug a
mic into the mixer with the cable(s) to test, listen on headphones
with the gain up, and "rattle" both ends and the cable itself to
expose any faults. To test coax cables, I'd do something equivalent
with low power into a dummy load and watching SWR at the rig.
