I'll try and get stuck next time out :)  I had a great time, I expected it to be a little more sloppy though.  Good thing is the jeep is still cleanish, most of the dirt came from the gravel road home  :-[
This is not 'Nam, this is wheeling.  There are rules.

That's the plan, she's already said she'd like to come out.  We'll just have to unload the kids at the neighbors and come out  :)

sounds good see you all there .

still cant dial in the CB perfectly might need someones advice . i got the SWR meter and i dont know exactly what im looking for


when i have it pluged from my CB to the SWR then to the Antenna  and i press the mik nothing happens
but if i turn the little nob on the SWR while pressing the mik then the little needle mores
what am i trying to achieve

if anyone wants to give me a hand tonight PM me and maybe we can meet somewhere and get this done

thanks


Adjust the knob til the needle is on  the right on the meter, over the set point (infinity).  Start adjusting the length of the antenna, ground plane or antenna position to bring the needle back towards the left, as close to 1 as possible.  Anything an SWR of ~2 is bad for the transmitter portion of the radio and can burn out the amplifier.

If you need any more help, PM me.
