    Standing wave ratio, it is the ratio of power out and power reflected back from the antenna when it isnt tuned.

    Why buy cheap...Its likely inaccurate which could cost you later...

    Buying cheap means its not likely gonna last so you end up spending $ twice..

    Not sayin mfj is junk or cheap but i have a 259b and its worked fine..Have had and still preferr my rig expert..
