Coming from the world of CBs, and not even proficient in that world, figured I better check the SWR of my new fangled setup before I was crying over a fried radio.  To my shock, i hit 1.01:1 on thr first 22 channels. Then when I got to the repeaters, it jumped to 1.93:1. My gut says cut, but should I just leave it? Tested with the Surecom up to 100w GMRS SWR meter. Midland MXT400. 

32" Jungle Brand Whip 6db midland look alike 

Front Bumper Hoop mounted 

Channels 1-7 1.01:1

Channels 15-22 1.01:1

Channels 15rp-22rp 1.93:1

 

4" Stubby 3db Midland

Feont Bumper Hoop mounted

Literally flip the above. 

1-22 2.2:1 

15rp-22rp 1.01:1

I dont know....maybe ill just carry both and swap em. Lol.
