GeauxGreddy Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 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.
