How to use it? I got this load of CB stuff and want to install it,
according to what I've read the SWR meter is for adjusting the 18 feet
antenna, but how do you do that with this thingy.What would be the best
lace to install the antenna, as high as? Might be a job our average wind
speed is about 45 k an hour or 30 miles.

Thanks
Richard


70 feet in the air is perfect as long as you don't live in an area that
restricts you, otherwise just get it above any obstructions and you will
be fine. The swr meter does not set the swr, it only measures it. You have
to adjust the antenna for the lowest swr reading. Not knowing the brand of
antenna, I cannot help you with how to adjust it.
Neither do I unfortunately, time has washed away all markings, I'll give it
an easy accessible place first and figure out what I can do to improve/lower
my swr.The swr meter has a calibration switch,(turn type) FWD/REF switch
and a FWD/REF switch.and a gauge that runs from 1 to 10 red-zone starts at
3 any idea how that should work?

Thanks
