How Can I Calibrate A SWR Meter?

CB radio swr meter reading is off the scale?

  • I've just tried setting my new rig up and when i go to set the calibration knob on the swr meter to the set position it won't go all the way across. Why? The swr meter works fine when setting up my other rigs, so why don't it work on this one?

  • Answer:

    First, this is the car audio section... Second, you may have a bad coax going to one of the antennas or you have blown the finals in the CB. Get a dummy load (or another coax/antenna) and try again, this will tell whether it's the coax or finals.

your antania cable is to long or to short . Your signal will come in good but only at that channel . Cut your cable only in incriments of multipals of three . One complete phase is 36 feet . swr's evens your phase to all channels . Once you get it close you can further calibrate with the screw at the end of the antena .
