![]() If you move the radio from location to location just check the reading. If it's 2:1 or lower don't worry about it. 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." This is a line flattener. They can be problematic in that one of the knobs can be bumped and give you an abnormally high SWR reading. Much higher than the antenna itself. You also will double the possibility of a loose coax connector, and don't forget that moving the setup will require more time and care. |
