@UKCBTV OK because I changed my mine I now want a Imax 2000. Also does it act as a big lightning rod, and cause some problems?

@UKCBTV Thanks a lot!

1.5 and under is ideal

better off doing your swr on channel 20..
anything below 3 is fine, i mean i would rather have my rooftop antenna thats 1.7-2.0 swr then my shed mounted one that is 1.3-1.5.
I also always keep my coax as short as possible and then adjust my antenna accordingly.
Had that same swr meter bought it from tandy in exeter for £9.99 back in 1994..
great videos by the way... 73s

Hi again. Did you ever own an Imax 2000 CB/HAM base antenna? If so do you think it is worth buying? Thanks!

@pyrofful - I'm using one using one now, it's long and floppy, works about the same as a A99 on local contacts and the short summer skip too (300-1500miles), but does work better than the A99 on the long skip and I've had contacts over 7000 miles with it this year.

What does it mean when it reads 1.5 on channel 1, 1.8-2.0 on channel 40, and 0 on channel 20?
pyrofful 9 months ago
@pyrofful - the readings are pretty good anyway, but some improvement may be seen by shortening the length of the antenna a bit (no more than 1/8 of an inch at a time). You'll probably end up with around 1.6 on Ch1 and 1.6 on Ch40 with Ch20 showing 1:1.

How could you make an antenna longer?
bben95 1 year ago
@bben95 - most antennas have some sort of telescopic section that allows it to be tuned for SWR. Some have tuning rings (Antron/Solarcon99, Imax and Dial-a-Match for example).
