• Over sharp edges or moving parts
that might damage the cable

ADJUSTING THE
ANTENNA’S SWR
To achieve your CB’s maximum range,
the antenna’s Standing Wave Ratio
(SWR) should be adjusted using an
SWR meter (not supplied).
Follow the instructions supplied with
the SWR meter and antenna to adjust
your antenna’s SWR to the lowest pos-
sible value. SWR values of 2.0:1 are
generally acceptable, with readings of
1.5:1 or lower being more desirable.
