Mobile Antenna tuning

[bud]

Hi all,

 

Looking for a place to get my mobile antenna tuned for GMRS.  ya know the 462 -467 range .   

 

Hard to find a shop locally  for this .

 

I do not own an SWR meter nor do  I have tools . 

 

My stomping grounds,   N. E Queens  (NYC)  East to Long Island.  

 

Recommendations appreciated !

 

Thanks

Steven

You might want to check with a local Ham Radio club. Many members have various types of antenna measuring equipment and one of them likely would he happy to help check it for you. 

 

You may be in for some luck. The last weekend of June is Field Day for Amateur Radio. Many groups, even single operators, setup in local parks, parking lots etc. and operate off of portable/emergency power power. It's a good place to meet other radio minded people and somebody I'm sure has the equipment on site to check your antenna system out. Oh, don't be surprised if somebody suggests getting your Ham License.

There are quite a few radio shops in the NYC area. I personally use A&R communications which is in NJ. You can try Barry Electronics 224 W 35th St #408, New York, NY 10001 They sell ham radio and commercial LMR and such
