Thanks,
I have an SWR meter from radio shack that I've used in the past. I know how to use it. My problem is that I'll be in a different truck everyday and wont be able to set the SWR the way I want to. On Monday I'm gonna call the cb shop that I saw online and ask them about the SWR match box. Below is a cut and paste of this product. Let me know if this will set the SWR without having to mess with the antenna's. "Don't "Live with" High SWR Readings! This Matcher will tune your SWR very low, simply insert inline between radio & Antenna. Has 2 Adjustment knobs. Perfect for Radios with wide channel coverage, indoor antennas, non-tunable mobile antennas, or for using 10 thru 12 meters off 1 antenna. Handles 80w pep. Requires either an SWR meter built into radio, or an optional SWR meter between Radio & Matcher." Don't be anal about SWR. If you have an SWR of between 1.5 to 2, don't worry about it. If you must have 1.0:1 on every channel, you'll need a tuner to "fix" it. SWR is a ratio of impedance. It is only one of a multitude of important parameters. I like high field strength. It shows you how well your antenna is radiating. |
