The Great SWR Meter Pass Around

I do. I got new coax I'm gonna install tomorrow and then it's free to go whoever wants it

 

Pirhett was next in line, but he's out of the country till January 17. So I can send it to whoever needs it

 

Ill take it then can send to @Pirhett

 

Well, I still have this. Nobody messaged me sending info so I've been waiting to get new coax.

Got my new coax and also had a BAMF tailgate mount remade out of stainless steel at a local medal shop to get rid of any rust/bad connections in the circuit. Still shows off the scale SWR on channels 1 and 40. I don't get it. My plastic washer is in the right place, and testing continuity between the various areas, I have continuity where I should and don't have it where I shouldn't. Maybe I'm just not testing it right .

I'm gonna see if I can find some local cb guys to assist with tuning. Whoever wants this, PM your info.

 

hey guys who has it now? Ill take it after youre finished

Had this dang cb for a year now but never was able to use it

 

I still have it. Never was able to get my thing tuned, gave up.

 

What's been the problem?

 

Nvm I remember, I guess post some pics of your set up and I'll try to trouble shoot

 

@smmarine ill take it next if you dont mind or if noone is next. Ive had my radio for months now and I havent been able to tune it. Im right next to people on the same channel and they cant hear me i can only hear them.I'll PM you my sending details.

 

I'm up next but I'll shoot it your way after!

 

I saw a video saying you need to be out in open land with nothing around you to properly tune, is that true? I live in Nashville so it's hard.

 

I just drove out to a lake last time I did mine, parked in an open parking lot next to the water and it worked well.

Then the next month I broke that antenna which is why Im up next on this thing lol

 

Open parking lot works well too. Went to an abandoned lot near me.

 

How "open" is open? When I think open I think rural shit.

 

I'd like to use the SWR meter so Please put me on the list & PM when available. Thanks

 

Wish I had a picture to show you. There were tall buildings there but not very close. I live in a city, so I know what you mean about it being difficult to find a place.
maybe even a school parking lot or parking near a playing field. Parking near large bodies of water.

 

Are your doors and windows closed when you test it?

 

This helps a lot! I need to repair my coax cable and then I can retune my CB. I have a 9" patch cable for SWR testing. Once I'm done I'll add my little SWR meter to the bin.
