Of course I get sick, when was the last time?

Of course I got the bad one when it was the last one? I wanted something with SWR and current as I have several separate meters. and on channel 1 and channel 40 my SWR showed much more than 3? I took other 2 SWR meters and on channel 1 it was 1.2 and on channel 40 it was 1.3, even the internal meters on 3 radios showed SWR below 1.5 but this meter kept showing SWR above 3. My galaxy puts out 15 watts, and it showed to trigger 3, so I have a bad one. Have to return it to ammmieeeezon.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than the others

This can be used for many things beyond what I needed. However, I'm not sure how well he does these things. For a simple setup of the CB antenna on my car (actually there are four) it works great and is pretty easy to use. Just look up the model number on YouTube and you will find some good videos showing you how to adjust the SWR on your CB antenna. Their range and performance have nothing to do with radio, as even the most expensive or cheapest devices have the same performance. (Sure, you…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Hard to say
