General Lee SWR

I also have a general lee, 2 watts on low and 10 watts on high, and my swr is the same on both power settings. That meter should have a power setting of 10 and 100 watts for checking rf power output so i wouldnt think it would only be accurate for checking swr on 4 watt and less radios.

 

Good deal, you will like that general lee real nice radio, i run mine barefoot in my f 150 with wilson 1000 and tx and rx 10 to 20 miles no problem.

 

The static level on mine is not real noticable but im using mine in my pickup truck and it may be different in a big truck. Possibly the cb shop turned the receive up too high which some are known to do. I know that i used to get alot more static in a volvo than i do a freightliner so every vehicle is different.

 

The receive on mine has never been adjusted, and without knowledge of the cb shop in question i dont want to make untrue statements about their quality of work, but almost all of the radios i have purchased over the last 15 years, the receive was good out of the box and the extent of a tuneup if i paid for one was to turn modulation up to 90% to 95%, now i have found that i can do that myself but i prefer to have someone do it with the proper equipment so i know that it is set correctly.

 

A proper tune Involves realigning the receiver as well as the transmitter
