Common questions

Why does my CB need an SWR meter?

An SWR meter measures how well your antenna is tuned to your radio. Tuning to a low SWR protects the radio and gives you the best range. See our SWR meter guide to get started.

Does antenna grounding really matter?

Yes. A poor ground is one of the most common causes of high SWR and weak transmit. Our grounding guide walks through how to do it on a vehicle.
