But you will need a meter because you still need to check the antenna system from time to time to ensure the right SWR match to keep your radio safe.

Since the antenna will give you a 1.5 to 1 SWR if installed correctly, the coax is also part of the test when done. If everything stays fine, the whip antenna and 6" spring mount should provide optimal performance for years to come.

Remember, that an quality radio and a cheap antenna work and sound like a cheap radio. But a quality antenna and a cheap radio work and sound like a quality radio.

Nice choice . . .
