driver42:
If you really want to know exactly that the swr is ok, get a "SWR Meter." You may still be able to get one from any radio shack, off ebay, or the radio shop at a truck stop. They range in price for 9.99 to 29.99 and up, and are simple to use and come with instructions. You may wish to have someone show you how to use one, which has used one before. If you get it at radio shack or a radio shop, a guy there should be able to quickly get you up to speed in their usage... Good luck... John "driver42" wrote in message 5...

There is always a method to decrease (tune adjust) swr... John "driver42" wrote in message 5... 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. |
