Anyone got an swr meter the would like to sell to me?

I check the swr with an AA then put the radio in the truck and then I don't do a thing.

I do not keep anything in line, nothing to distract me and if there is an antenna issue, I will see it on the meter on the radio,

 

That meter(s) looks like it might be larger than my on-board Uniden 520, RL 203P and Workman SWR meter put together. It looks a mite big and musclebound for my simple in-line SWR assignment :=)

If I had an SWR meter on the radio I'd cut the Workman SWR from its upstream assignment, but my little Uniden 520 has no space for its own SWR.

Edit: Does an SWR meter on the radio help the upstream amplifier should an SWR "event" occur farther upstream from the amp in the coax or antenna?

 

More connections equals more potential problems not to mention more noise in your system. It's best to use it and remove it after adjusting the antenna. It looks like you can find one for five bucks on eBay.

 

I think everybody made one that style back in the 70’s! I had one that was spot on, until I dropped it. It was like 30 years old or so and still looked like new.

 

I had one like this that I bought for 8 bucks.

 

I still had the receipt in the box when I broke mine. $21. ?? from a RS, but it wasn’t their brand.

 

Radio has swr protect and i set it to shut down my transmit at a 2.0...If issues arrise my analyzer comes out..

 

Naw, needs the giant TRIPLE meter version!!!

Nitro Knobs!

Chrome case!

Chrome mike cover and cord!

Chrome split loom!

But only AFTER the two foot chrome shifter extension with grinning chrome skull shift knob and ruby lit eyes!

 

Wire those ruby eyes to come on when the SWR gets too high, warning you to back off or things will get dangerous!

 

Got this one for $5 at a yard sale 25 years ago
