    Bruce, it looks like one of the meters Wawassee Electronics of Syracuse, Indiana used to build.They were one of the better meters aimed at the CB/Freeband crowd in the 70-80's.

    Will this guy set up the CB/Antenna/Coax combo to be sure it is setup correctly before sending to you or does he just mail it out an its up to me to set up correctly?

    To be set up correctly you would have to be at the shop.You can not tune an antenna and then mail it,tuning has to be done during the installation.

    Yep that is it! I was in a hurry when I posted that itty bitty pic and didn't have time to take one or find another one. They are supposed to have a top of the line meter in them.

    You can always learn to set the VSWR. It's quite easy.
