What’s wrong with the Micro PA 50?

In this video I show how I reworked the SWR sensing to be a little less sensitive. Remember make sure to do your own findings and if you decide to do this mod do at your own risk. Make sure to check your antenna’s SWR before using this amp! I purchased my amp from Ebay and a U.S. seller.
****NOTE, I ended up changing the 33 ohm resistor to a 22 ohm resistor to keep the swr closer to actual swr as per my analyzer about .2-3 lower. *****
