I installed a new Sirio Gainmaster with with rg213 cable, mounted on to two top rail fence post which are 10.5 feet each and am using a Galaxy DX 44 radio. I checked the SWR and they are below 1.5. Went out in the mobile and had the wife key up from base back and forth over a 13 Mile radius and could only get out on the base for about 7 miles without losing total reception on the mobile. The RX/TX were near the same both ways. I could hear other base stations clearly 25 plus miles out on my mobile and I could talk to them on my mobile, but my base station could barely hear me nor transmit to me. I don't know if I did that great at installing the connectors on to the coax cable, could That be my issue even though the swrs are below 1.5?
Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated.
