I am match tuning swr on 1 and 40. I have a 6666 and a 400HD amp. I have a meter in the radio and one after my amp. I was told to tune from the after amp swr meter with the amp and radio on low, They are reading the opposite swr from each other. Hard for me to tune to match exact. Both are still...

Mobile setup... Hooking up an amp with a low pass filter and a swr meter to antenna, in that order. Is that the correct way? Also, can I hook the amp, filter, and swr meter with direct connectors together or do I need coax in between them for any reason? Thanks in advance.

Looking for a friend. Best made mobile AM with stable LSB USB FCC 40 Channel CB Radio on the market today? P.S. Let me add two of his requests. He is looking for the 6 didgit freq counter in the radio for SSB use and the old type needle s meter. I told him I don't think they make radios with the...

Here's a question I have searched for but have found no real answer and not sure there is a real one. Can the police arrest you if you have illegal export radio and amplifier in your vehicle hooked up? I have asked some that I know well and they didn't really know and said they wouldn't be...

Looking for a new amp for the mobile. Looking for suggestions for a straight 6 or 8 transistor amp for 11 meters.

So this morning I turned on my TS500DX non variable and the meter was lit, very dim, but lit and no reading. Swr went from keyed 1.3 normal amp on to 2.0. Also noticed when i unkey there is a static noise that wasnt there before that lasts about a second and when keyed amp used to show 6 on its...

If you had a choice of the two which one would you choose? It will be mounted on top of a 2010 Jeep Renegade roof, on a puck mount. Both are the same length. My reason for asking I have always read that longer is better and I have also read that metal is also better. Which I am getting confused...

From what I have read over the years the swr meter should be at 3 different places, lol. I have read at the radio to read whats happening back to it, after an amplfier, and the last at the end of the coax by the antenna itself. I have the radio and 15.2ft of LMR400UF coax going to an amp and...

Looking for suggestions for a decent ham mobile with AM USB LSB at minimum and with 11 meters. Looking to spend around $300ish. Used is probably likely from what I have been researching. Im liking the Icoms and Yaesu radios. Suggestions?

So never saw one like this. Any experienced ones think this 5ft is better than a 5ft SkipShooter? I need a 5ft 4in or less and narrowed it down to my 5ft SkipShooter or...

My Antenna only can be no longer than 5ft 4inches for total tuned height. I am using a Puck Mount on the roof of a 2010 Jeep Liberty Renegade. I have a 5ft Skipshooter and a Tram SP-63 Open Coil. If you had a choice technically, which would you choose of the two to get out and receive the best...

I finally got all my stuff together to install my new radio set up in my car (2000 Grand Marquis LS) and something weird is going on with my SWR. I have an Optima MKIII radio brand new on a 3ft/meter/9ft coax set up with a stud mount and a 102 inch whip centered on my trunk. My SWR's are around...
