Anyone have one? I'm looking to find one to tune a CB antenna when I decide which one. I'm looking at this one, and if anyone else has experience with setup and tuning, please let me know http://www.rightchannelradios.com/fires ... a-214.html |

An SWR meter? Those make you stupid! The school ham club, W0EEE, probably has a meter you could use. They have meetings on Thursdays. Is this going to be a mobile setup? Check out http://k0bg.com. He's a ham, but he has a lot of good information that would apply to a cb antenna system as well. In particular the parts about positioning the antenna so that it has a proper counterpoise are important. The best cb antenna are the $20 108" whips. They sell them at Radio Shack. Don't use springs from radioshack though. They are rust POS. |

Welcome to my area of expertise. We (The W0EEE club) have a few. One is too large for comfort but we have a real nice bird wattmeter that can measure reflected power, which is all you need for tuning antennas. Pm me and I'll hook you up. |
