SWR IS controlled by the antenna and feedline, if you company has installed
these, they should have had someone set it up which has already adjusted all of
that.

The output of your radio expects a 50 ohm load, "tuning the antenna" means that
the antenna and feedline has been adjusted correctly to present this load to
your radio, if they have done their job correctly.

In other words, if the person installing, tuning the antenna and feedline has
properly adjusted it to present a 50 ohm load ANY RADIO should now be able to
hooked up to it with no problems and a low SWR.

I suspect you are good to go...

If the swr is over a 2 to 1, you get into danger of damaging the
output finals in the equipment, will also decrease your range.

There is always a method to decrease (tune adjust) swr...

Hi,
If I'm not able to set the SWR in the trucks that I drive will it
hurt the radio or just give me decreased range?




My problem is that I'll be moving from truck to truck so I wont have
time to set the SWR correctly. Most of our trucks have factory installed
double antenna's which I'm not too thrilled about.
