I just checked my swr on my A99. on 20 its a 1.6. it used to be 1.2. i installed a gpk to it a week ago and it was flat across the band. but now all of a sudden its high. could it be the weather or somethin? bc right now its freazin rain and everything is ice. im clueless and kinda mad... thanks

Ice build-up will almost always raise SWR. No guarantees but more than likely that's going to be the (temporary) problem. Let us know what happens
