NEVER Trust the SWR Meter in a CB Radio. They are Cheaply Made and Very Unreliable.I would never trust a Dosey but it’s your radio gear not mine.
Sark100 swr reading was high I wasn’t using my dosy or swr reading on my radio.

Does the Sark have a reading for + or - j? If so, this is the reactance, you will need to get it close to zero.

I have a New A99 too, and it is 11" short compared to my Older models. I think that Solarcon has optimized the A99 too. I also get about 1.50:1 on my new one right out of the box without any tuning. I can tune the antenna to 1.00:1 on setting the rings to the bottom...and that is close to CB channel 1.Um... Might want to read this first.

I noticed today swr was flat after leaving antenna apart for a couple of days then started climbing after 2 hrs of reinstall
