Update!

Fixed the radio - shot the operator. Split vfo's does it everytime. Still lost 40 meters. This is what happens when you take 20 years off.

Checked the coax connectors - OK
Removed the radials - OK
Reinstalled the matching coil.

Now the readings are closer to the manual
10m - 32 on counter
15m - 56 on counter
20m - 200 on counter
Still need to work on 40 / 80

Directional correct.

Feel better.

Thanks for the suggestions.
