    swr on antenna

    To Jay Mojave; I've been looking at antenna analyzers till I was blue in the face. there are so many of them out there all shapes and sizes from 60 bucks to 600 bucks. I can't afford a lot but I want a good one NOT made in china, what would be your choice if you were a poor old cat like me?

    swr on antenna

    Ok; with a DUMMY LOAD hooked to the back of my cb base I get ''O'' SWRs. or the needle barley moves maybe about 1/32''or 1/64th'' That's pretty close to O as you can get. With DUMMY LOAD hooked to the end of the coax at the antenna, I get the same results-O..OR 1/32'' or maybe 1/64'' reflected...

    swr on antenna

    Ok guys; the dummy load came in today, with a 3' jumper and D.L. on it from the radio Im getting 0 SWr. and with the D.L. on the end of the 50' coax, I'm getting 0 SWr. I ohm the antenna and got around 30 Ohms.So I know the radio is good & the coax is good. I'm starting to believe there is...

    yes I re-calibrate every time I change the watt setting. & yes the workman is connected right. coax and jumpers are all brand new.RG213. the jumper is connected from ANT. on back of radio to TRANS on back of swr meter, and antenna coax is connected to ANT on back of swr meter.

    swr on antenna

    I don't have a dummy load test yet, I been looking for one on Ebay. Yes the amp is completely un-hooked & no change in SWR. Yes the ant. grounding wire is un-hooked & no change in SWR. If I pick a freq. it would be channel 20 which would be in the middle of channel freq. 1-40. And to the best of...

    swr on antenna

    freq. somewhere between 27.165-29.965 to 27.405, for 11 meter antenna.. 38 feet from ground to antenna plus 7 feet to go into the window so that gives me 5 feet of slack.

    swr on antenna

    Ok I was wrong. with amp disconnected, & barefoot only, the CB set at 20 watts, the SWR is 4 on channel 1 & 2 on channel 40. I cant lengthen the antenna anymore, its at the max length. Shortening the ant.only makes the SWR higher on both channel. My Galaxy Melaka has a watt knob on back to...

    swr on antenna

    got new tower set up, with spt 500 penetrator on 11 meter. got swr down to 1:1. But when I turn on the 150 watt linear, swr goes to 2:1 on channel 1 and 4:1 on channel 40. Don't have antenna tuner or antenna analyzer. If I adjust swr with the linear on, then SWR goes up on barefoot mode. Open to...

    looking for the right antenna

    swr was the same until the high winds bent the pole in half and the antenna came down on the roof. But now I'm working on a Ron tower with a hinge base. not finished with it yet.
