Yeah, maybe I should just try to get some assistance with an swr meter
rather than endlessly screwing around, wondering how much I'm off resonance,
and all the stress associated with all of that. Maybe, if nothing else, the
shop where I'm buying all my gear might have one.

If not, http://www.mfjenterprises.com has vhf swr meters in the 35
dollars u.s. range and up. You'll need one eventually...

In any case, thanks for all the advice --- I'm pretty clear on whats what,
now.

They don't cover 2m, I checked.

You didn't check far enough. The MFJ-812B covers 2-meters and 220.
It lists for $34.95.

You're right --- I only looked at that other site. I'll definitely shop
around for one, but even if I can find one, it'll be $70 with taxes, in
canadian dollars, and it isn't likely that I'll be able to find to begin
with up here, but what the hell --- now I know that there relatively
inexpensive meters I'm further ahead than I was before I knew about them. I
thought they were all at least $150 and up. Thanks.
