SWR meter

[smithz]

I'm probably going to be ordering a CB setup soon and was wondering if anyone close to Westminster has a SWR meter that I might borrow for day or two to tune the antenna? I don't really want to have to buy one if I don't need to.

Thanks.

I have one.

I found that if mounted on the rear bumper, or anywhere on the side, that it will not get a good signal.
You either have to mount it on the roof or somewhere so that the side of the antenna is not beside the vehicle.
I have mine mounted on the top of the front bumper(ARB).

pm me if you still need to borrow one.

Thanks. I was planning on using a hood mount. I'll have to think about putting it on my ARB.

Are you close to Westminster?

PM'd you!

Now i just need to get my butt in gear and make a final decision on what to order. And I need to start praying that the coax will squeeze through the gap in the hood.

Thanks again Craig!!!

And whoever invented those stupid CB toys for playing sounds and nonsense should be shot.
