Just to make sure I understand, I see you "key" the mike when it's on FWD and set the needle. So, do I keep the mike "keyed" when I flip the switch to REF, or "un-key" the mike first?

I tried doing this last night but the needle on the SWR meter doesn't move at all no matter what I do. Any tips?

@RightChannelRadios 5 месяцев назад

Be sure that the radio is hooked up to a good power source, we recommend a fuse tap or direct to the battery. If the radio's transmitter isn't getting enough power from the vehicle, the needle on the meter will not move. Also, make sure the calibration knob isn't all the way to one side, as the needle could stick on the sides.

Think there's a misunderstanding on this subject, we shouldn't be tuning our antennas for low swr ,we should be tuning antennas to resonance with could mean swr will be higher, then we match to allow power transfer, can't do this with an swr meter need an analyser
