New User: High SWR on XMT, RX Works Great

[Jay Miller]

After 60 years of tube radios I was finally shamed into dipping my toe in the digital world. Bought the HL2+. Thanks to many YouTube videos it assembled without issue. I am a professional Mac user so I'm trying it on SparkSDR. Receive is really great on all bands. But when I try to transmit, the SWR goes very high (every band). All cables are new and have been checked and rechecked. Dummy load is also checked and calibrated. I checked the filter board with a magnifier and can see nothing amiss (the SMC are WAY over my head). Put a meter on the ANT jack (filter board removed from radio and no connections) and measured about 3K between the center pin and shell. I have the schematic. Any clues? Thanks and 73 de KK5IM.

Do you use the same connector for rx and tx? Selected the right one in your  software? Exansionboard with another connector?
