FAQ
What does this meter measure?
It measures SWR and power, and it can also measure RF field strength around your CB antenna using the included pickup antenna.
Why would I measure field strength?
Field strength readings help you spot dead zones or weak areas in your antenna’s radiation pattern, so you can adjust placement/tuning for better overall performance.
Do I need any extra cables?
Yes—installing the meter in the antenna line requires an extra CB coax jumper to run from the meter to your radio.
How big is the meter?
Approximately 5 5/8" W × 2 3/8" T × 2 1/2" D (including antenna connections and the calibration knob).
Will tuning my antenna really help?
Yes—proper antenna tuning can improve your effective range and helps keep your radio operating safely by reducing harmful reflected power.
