Default Questions about a 2m J-pole

Tom,

Most of those CB SWR meters are good for HF and probably 6 meters or
so. My experience is that they are highly inaccurate at best, and
often completely unusable on 2 meters. I lend my Bird wattmeter out
frequently for people doing installations because of this.

Of course, there are so many units out there it is impossible to say
with certainty that they won't work, but that's what to expect. You
don't what an additional unknown in building up a new antenna.
